Billed reconnection fee despite paying on time.

I am a dstv customer. My dstv account is due on the 25th of every month and this month the 25th was on a Saturday and I was away on work duties. I normally pay my account using the dstv web platform using my credit card, but since the 24th to the 26th their platform was not working and I couldn't pay. I made arrangements and paid my subscription on the 26th around 1pm. My services were still active. when I checked a summary of my transactions on the 28th of this month I noticed that DSTV charged me a reconnection fee on the 26th at 10:23pm. My problem is that the reconnection fee was charged after the subscription has been paid and my services were never disconnected. the fact that the subscription was paid late is not my problem as dstv web system was not working. I raised this issue with dstv on facebook but they were unhelpful.
