Stuck in Harare because Travelstart booked an unreliable airline

I booked a return ticket from South Africa to Zimbabwe through Travelstart with Fastjet airline. Going was no problem. On Returning l showed up at Harare Airport yesterday 17 Jan 2021 for the 18.00hrs flight only to be told all flights are gone. I had no access to emails and when l eventually got access l saw Travelstart sent me an email advising me of the time change but the departure was still 18.00hrs on the 17th Jan. When l contacted them they said 'We have noted that your ticket has been marked as flown.' How could l possibly have flawn when l got there after the plane had gone? Their last response was we are in contact with the airline at 10.17 am and thereafter they have ignored all emails. I didn't need to monitor my emails because the ticket said nothing about the airline changing times whenever they wanted. I'm stuck in Harare and Travelstart has ignored me. I need to speak to someone in authority so they can get me back home. Can someone from Travelstart call me on +***82

Good day Patricia ,

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, I am so sorry to hear of the inconvenience caused. 

I have tried calling you on the number provided on the review but it seems to go straight to voicemail, the other number you have provided does not show the all the digits as the review is not Private. 

I have searched for your booking with your email address and can confirm that the Schedule changes Team has escalated your booking to the manager. She is in contact with the airline to try and source an alternative flight back home for you. She will be calling you sometime today with an update and way forward. If you could please send us a private reply with a suitable contact number in order for the team to get hold of you ? 

Hope to hear from you soon. 

Wishing you a wonderful day further!

Thank you and kind regards
Travelstart
