Unkept Promises/ Breach of Contract/ No delivery

On Saturday the 25th of November 2017 I walked into MTN Alberton City to take up a special offer that was advertised. The offer was for the Samsung Note 8 for R799 pm and with it a Samsung 32" TV as part of the deal. I was told that all will be finalised within 24 -48 hours because of the chaos caused by Black Friday. Despite me and my wife calling everyday thereafter we were told the same thing everyday by the consultant Adrian Mokoena; 'That the backlog was due to the volume caused by Black Friday'. Eventually I only received the phone on the 6th of December. The problems thereafter were relating to retrieving the TV. After being pushed back and forth between MTN and Samsung/ Samsung Rewards.... eventually Adrian Mokoena and Store Manager Humbalani vowed to resolve matters before I left on holiday (23rd Dec) as the fault/ delay was MTN's and not mine. This promise was NOT kept. Today is the 22nd of January 2018 and I have still not received the TV as per the offer. I have been patient despite promises being broken. After 2 weeks of silence, last week I eventually received an sms from the store Manager Mr. Humbalani stating that the matter has been escalated. I.e. very little progress.

Up until now I understood MTN to be too big a corporation to not have the capacity to back an offer up. Should it really be this hard? 2 months really? I have been patient.. and hence I have now resorted to using THIS forum as a medium. I hope it elicits the appropriate response.

Please MTN... sort this out. (Sms exchanges between myself and Store Manager are attached)

Good day Alice... I've not received any feedback from yourself yet. I did, however, receive a text asking me to forward my TV licence and Delivery address to ********** was this a result if your intervention? Must I comply? Please advise Mr. ST Peters
