Vodacom and Cellsure collusion on lies, false information, misleading information and running away from contractual obligation and liabilities

My mother with cellphone number has been with Vodacom and Vodasure which changed names and hands over time but she's never moved from any of them as a contract customer. She's had multiple contracts in her name,her contract packet have ranged from Red VIP, Red Select, Weekender, to where she is now. She's also been on premium handsets since the beginning of time and when Samsung Galaxy was launched she upgraded to the latest Samsung Galaxy model and made sure she took the matching insurancecover. She lost her phone on 06.07.2020 and submitted a claim to Cellsure on 07.07.2020. Imagine my shock and anger when Cellsure said the approve the claim with a upper limit of R15000.00 and not replacement phone thats currently on the market which is Samsung Galaxy S20. Her insurance cover band is on R15000-R20000. It's ********* that Vodacom and Cellsure are reneging on their contractual obligations and practicing ********* ethical business behaviour and running away from their contractual liabilities. I will not rest until Vodacom and Cellsure payback my mum the total cumulative amount of all her premiums since she's had the cellphone insurance or replace her phone with Samsung Galaxy S20. I'm not sure if her claim number is CLM*** OR CLM***/58/6

Insurance policy attached. You will rectify this issue with immediate effect or pay her back all the premiums you've been *****ing from her under false pretenses and promises. It's not a negotiation. Fix this issue before close of business tomorrow, on 08 July 2020.

how will you contact my mother when she's lost her phone? I am only accepting calls and emails from you only if you are approving her insurance claim rightfully. This is serious!! My number is on the email i sent to ***; ***; ***

Dear Vodacom,

I'm not sure who made it happen to ensure that the correct, just, and ethical decision is between Vodacom, Cellsure, Finrite and the Ombudsman for Short-Term Insurance and fixed the issue. The insurance claim was correctly and appropriatel approved. My mother got her Samsung Galaxy S20 replacement handset this afternoon.

Thank you.
