NYDA's stuff with personal vendetta that led to my company not receiving the grant voucher.

A year ago due to unemployment, I went to the Nation youth development agency in Pretoria. I enrolled for the free small business entrepreneurial course they have for those that are business minded. After the course, we where given the certificate for completion, which they said was needed if we would want the voucher for the different grants they have for entrepreneurs.

Now with the certificate I app**** for the grant and there was a lot of documents that where needed for them to consider your application.

We where given a list on documents we should have in order to get the grant. The list consisted of CK1, SARS clearances, BBBEEE certificate and invoices and quotation of 6 months trading in the registered company.

It took me a that six months to gather all the required documents and I personlla went to drop them off.

After 6 moths of waiting again for a response, I went in the offices and asked the status of my application, I was given attitude and was asked to wait for who they call the "Devil " herself. This lady is said to take no nonsense and will "show you flames". Now I didn't know what that means but I kept my cool and waited. That lady just had a negative energy and looked always angry. I asked her why does she look angry when she's working with public masses... I think that is the reason my application was not even reviewed. After that meeting they said they gonna come see the place where I will be conducting my business the following morning which they did.

When they came to my place, they already made their mind because she and her minions where so pompous they wanted to show me that they have my future or business future in their hands. We conducted the meeting and the lady was so arrogant and ended up saying these word.."We are the ones giving you money so you must just shut up!" When I was asking why they been the way they are towards me...

Last I heard them was they will review and call me. It's been 32 months and I have not even received a emails saying anything about my application and the status...

I feel I was unfairly treated because of one persons personality, the person who is in power but deprives many of the grants the government is paying and not her own money.

I would like yellow Peter to help me, their call center just rings, the branch just rings aswell. There is no one to take my calls and endless emails and Twitter twits. I did everything according to the books and submitted just like anyone but at the end. I was sidelined and cut out. This yeah I have turned 35 years which means I will no longer fall under the youth category. Please can you help solve this before I turn 36 in January.
