Advertising for Vodacom based on my experience

Dear Vodacom

Since my issue regarding my accounts have not been resolved, I've begun my own advertising campaign to 'promote' Vodacom as per my experiences. Below are the links to two postings of my first advert. Hope you like it.

1) https://9gag.com/gag/aE0ED7K? 2) https://x.com/*******Cartoon/status/***?t=tIndPvbQfCyi8TZ070Y_Eg&s=08

I also design vinyl prints for t-shirts so I've resolved to putting the various adverts I create on t-shirts and handing them out on your behalf around Johannesburg.

By the way, I see that I have been handed over to debt collectors, VVM. This is fantastic because each time I receive an sms, a call or an email demanding payment, I will be escalating the advertising initiative and it's all for free until the market is flooded with the same message; that Vodacom is a parasitic entity and it needs to be bled dry.

The only way I believe customers can get your attention is to affect your customer base, your share prices and your profit share so here goes my contribution to carving a chunk out of it. I don't care if I get credit listed like you've threatened anymore. I'm not going to stop until my advertising is as relatable as yours.

Regards from me. :)

Since VVM Credit Management helps Vodacom de***** its customers, I'll make them famous too.

Dear Vodacom In 6 months, you’ve not resolved my issue and I’ve been handed over to VVM Credit Management because you need a bully. I doubt you have any capacity to fix anything so why bother now. My post was to merely to inform you and to make public the steps I have begun taking to dismantle Vodacom with the South African audience. My aim is to damage Vodacom’s reputation with the South African public, perhaps even internationally and make sure that it costs millions to fix. I’m just getting started so keep a lookout on social media including X, Instagram, Facebook, etc for my ad campaign.

Pay attention to the streets too. I might hand out t-shirts... Take care Zaheer

It is unfortunate, isn't it?
I figure that since I've been referred to debt collectors, will likely be listed with the credit bureau for non-payment and will probably have some sort of action taken against me at some point in the not too distant future, I really have no incentive to stop my course of action.
My aim is to make my advertising a part of Vodacom's brand, which is in the public domain.
