Mobile Content Fee and SMS Air Subscriptions

I went to EDGARS Mall of Africa to pay up and close my account on Friday and I was told that I have signed up for a Mobile Content Fee and SMS Air Subscriptions, therefore I cannot cancel without cancelling with them first, I told the person I was talking to that I have no idea what this Mobile Content Fee and SMS Air Subscriptions is and instead of explaining what this is, he gave me a number to call and cancel directly, which I did.

Now I called to follow up on the progress of the logged query and I was told that the query, should be followed up with mobile content and it annoys me that I opened an account with Edgars but when I want to cancel I am told about mobile content.

I then called Mobile content on ********** 011 and the person I spoke to told me that this was activated 2018 whereas they started taking the money from 10/10/2017 according to my Edgars statements.

I asked the person I was speaking to explain how mobile content works to have clarity and he said he doesn't even know what mobile content is. How does Edgars **** me this much and fail to explain to their employees what mobiles contents are in case customers request for explanations?

Now I am waiting for voice recodings, this is not right at all. Ref: ********** 095194

I called and spoke to Evans Madebele who still says the same thing I was told that I agreed to the subscriptions and, but he is not responding about voice recordings I was told they will be sent within 48 hours. He said that according to feedback from his end, I have to call their third party which I don't even know. Edgards needs to take responsibility of this mess. They signed me up on this thing and now they expect me to do the follow ups over and over again. No one from Edgars has called me. I am still waiting for those voice recordings.

So I just got a call from Lungile Dunjwa from EDCON and it became very clear to me that Edcon team is very *********** to keep calling me updating me about my cancelation for this stupid airtime subscription which I never even received the stupid airtime to begin with. All I get is we will escalate this to the 3rd party but when we hang up the phone NO ONE ESCALATES. Tomorrow I will be getting the same information that their system or records are not showing anything about call recodings or refunding me my money back for ******** me for the whole 2 years. I have been WAITING FOR STUPID RECODINGS SINCE FROM 26TH APRIL 2019, It's 9 days later and I am still being told about cancellation which should have been confirmed the day I was closing my account, which ontop of that I was told it's a requirement to cancel the subscription first before closing the account. It is really frustrating to get a call from EDACON and be told about cancellation of something I never even asked to have on my account, was I wrong to and that naïve to go and open a clothing account with Edgars only for their employees to subscribe me for Mobile Content Fee. I NEVER ASKED FOR A MOBILE CONTENT, I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW, NOW I WANT MY MONEY BACK AFTER BEING TOLD THAT I WILL BE REFUNDED, BUT NO ONE IS SATING ANYTHING. All they know is to keep sending me different reference numbers which they cannot even pick up from their system. Please help me.

I called again and spoke to Reabetswe Sola from Mobile content, she told me that there are no voice recordings to be shared and my refund request was declined because I agreed to subscribe for this through my network provider which is Telkom, I do not understand where Telkom gets in, in all this because the account was opened with Edgars not via telephone but I went to the store. Keabetswe Sola told me to contact Telkom because Edgars got authority to subscribe me. This is getting worse if Telkom decided to deduct money from my account without my knowledge. Please help.
