Telkom porting nightmare - Do not move over to Telkom!

I moved over to Telkom on 13 November and was told my number would take 24-48 hours to port from MTN. It is now 11 days and still not done. Telkom is pathetic, support is pathetic. If someone phones me now the message says that the number is no longer on the MTN network. This is really negatively affecting my business since this is my primary number. I was warned not to move over to Telkom and I guess for my sins this is what I get. Warning to all - dont be fooled by the promotions, these guys are truly useless!
