VODACOM CONTRAVENING POPI ACT

I asked Vodacom to remove my details for purposes of any marketing phone calls and emails. On 9 November I revieved a phone call and email from Spelele Tayika from Vodacom Customer Care confirming that marketing permisson was removed on my account. This was a deliberate lie as today, 29 November 2022, at 11:30 I received yet another marketing phone call from Vodacom promoting Black Friday specials. Vodacom is deliberately contravening the POPI Act and should be prosecuted for this.

I am not interested in a consultant contacting me in due course unless it is to offer financial compensation for billable hours wasted answering vodacom marketing phone calls and numerous attempts to get my details removed.
