8 months later - no resolution!

I lodged a complaint with OSTI in July 2022. 8 months later, no resolution has been communicated. I was informed the matter takes about 3-6months, and here I am on the 8th month. Upon following up, I am informed that a resolution turnaround time is unknown, and that the personnel who had my file resigned in December. Noone can advise if my file has even been opened since the last communication. I have noted other complaints that came long after mine have been attended to, and yet I wait without knowing how long anymore. It’s almost nearing a year, and still I wait. Please advise on a resolution. It’s been over a year since the matter took place.

Dear Mary,

I had a look at your file and I see that you have been requesting feedback for a while and that we have dropped the ball in terms of keeping you updated.  I am sorry for what I can only imagine must be an extremely frustrating situation. 
I discussed the matter with Senior Assistant Ombudsman, Peter Nkhuna, earlier today and I understand that he has just given you a call to discuss your matter. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you require any assistance going forward. You can reach me at ***.

Kind regards,
Marilize Blignaut
