Thami Hlatshwayo is a talker and a dishonest "business man"

Doesn’t pay freelancers in full, spends their money that he was supposed to pay them with and then mocks me when I want to get debt collection involved.

Three months since the work has been delivered and over 50% of the invoice is still outstanding… also does the same exact thing with another freelancer that I actively work with.

No communication on giving status updates, tells one story after another whiles joling himself. Going out for dinners that cost more than whats owed and posting it on socials, and then continues to hide his stories from my account.

After reaching 90 days overdue and informing him like standard business procedure that I would have to hand over the account to Debt Collectors, he quickly responds and explodes and then tries to say that I owe him money with absolutely no clause and that he wants to get his lawyer involved. Trying to bully and scare me to backing down for the second time.

The first time he calls me and just straight out attacks me for the first 10 minutes not even giving me chance to talk. And to think this how he deals with a youth owned agency is probably the scariest part.

Extremely unprofessional, childish, and dishonest. Just appalling behaviour for a “business man”. This man is one hell of a talker and I’d advise caution when dealing with him.
