Call time limit is insufficient when put on hold by SARS

I've just wasted a whole afternoon trying without success to speak to SARS complaints department. When I called I was number seven in the queue, but they were operating extremely slowly. I eventually reached number one, but at exactly 119 minutes and 59 seconds the call cut off before I was able to speak to a consultant. I tried again and was put back into the queue but apparently they closed just after I called, leaving me receiving a message that I was still in the queue for the next two hours. Once more the call was eventually cut off when the time limit was reached. How can I call them if Telkom won't allow me to hold on long enough for my call to be taken?

I've just discovered that my two attempts to contact SARS cost me nearly R170 and I never did get to speak to a consultant. As I was number one in the queue at the cut off of the first call, a few extra minutes would have enabled me to get my issue resolved.
