Hidden and inexplicable cost of contract

After six days of trying to get a Black Friday deal - contract for LG Velvet I have just been informed that, because I already am a loyal Vodacom customer with another cellphone contract and a wi-fi contract that I first have to pay over R4500 up front in addition to the contract price - this is not the way to treat an existing or even new customer. Please explain the reason for this.

Reviewer Update
A Vodacom consultant did contact me - to apologize but not to give an explanation as to why this advertised deal was available to me only if I paid an additional R4535 up front. I don't need an apology, I need to know why I have to be penalised like this. To call this a "system generated" requirement doesn't explain anything.
