Vodacom Iphone 14 issues

i upgraded my cellphone on a Vodacom Red VIP contract i upgraded to the new Iphone 14 Pro, a cellphone valued at R30,000. the payment on my account is R2500/month.

i received the phone 3 weeks ago and immediately after installation the phone became hot, the cellular data doesnt work, the battery doesn't last.

i took the phone into the local Vodashop and they sent it away for repairs. after 3 weeks theres still no feedback on my new phone but i still have to pay the installment of R2500 per month for a phone that i had for 4days before returning it.

this is unacceptable and for the value of the phone i deserve as a consumer for the phone te be exchanged

i received my phone back , they simply did a software upgrade and sent it back.
still the same problem persist, doesnt charge past 45%
it's so hot you cant handle the phone
it loses battery charge at about 1% per minute

i took it back to the local vodashop and they sent it back for repairs again.
job# ***8

i asked not for the phone to be repaired but replaced for a new phone
i phoned Vodacom again with the new Job# and no one there has apparently a clue about the phone.

for more than 2month i've payed the installments and i still have no phone.

this is totally unaaceptable, i'm so frustrated
