Disgusting service and help

The worst experience I have had thus far. The lack of incompetence within the CGSO is shocking. I have been dealing with a case with them for the past 2 weeks and my word has this been a waste of time , energy and airtime.

I have An agent dealing with my case called Lebogang , she is rude and unhelpful. I don’t think they understand the frustration they put us through.

Not only that , you request to speak to a manager and you get put on hold and no one answers your call. I asked to speak to another manager , apparently there is no other manager to speak too.

I am at a loss for words , I thought the CGSO is here to make consumers life easy and actually fight for the customer but I guess I was wrong.

At this point I am not sure which route to turn too as no One wants to help.
