Vodacom THE WORST cell phone provider in SA!!!

I've never experienced such horrible service is my whole life! I'm trying to cancel my router that offers 5gig data and a laptop. I've tried to call *** since yesterday, 1 February 2022. I called probably 4 times yesterday. First of all, if I didn't have a family member within Vodacom that works for Vodacom I would have never have know to press the prompt number 2, and then 2 again. Because your options don't make sense at all and doesn't allow you to talk to a consultant, e.g. I selected "New cancellation" and then the operator just said "sorry you can't talk to a consultant because you are not due for an upgrade". Seriously!!! Until my cousin told me "Select number 2, for a query of existing cancelation". Which is not true, as it is a new cancelation. Okay so I select number 2, at last after the 4th call a consultant answers. He takes all my details to cancel and tells me to hold, this is already a 20min call. I hold on for 10mins and then the call was ended from the consultant's side. This is crazy. So I wasted my time cancelling and now nothing has been recorded, no reference number given to me, nothing. So then my lunch time was over. So I had to call today, 2 Feb 2022 in my lunch time again. I made literally 5 calls, each time the call gets ended from Vodacom's side. At last I get through to a consultant, talk to the consultant for 2 min and the call gets ended. Then I phone again, talk to a very nice consultant Mbuso. He takes me through all the steps and he says he just cancelled the ****le with 5gig and laptop deal, which is R225 / month. I call my family member from Vodacom, and he says "No they didn't cancel it, it is not reflecting on the system". Now I need to call again and wait on the line. Time I don't have!!!! The reference number is ***. Please make sure you get this ****le cancelled ASAP. Otherwise I will go to all your social media pages.

GOOD JOB to Nkululeko Zuke! Out of 20 Vodacom consultants that I spoke to since yesterday, Nkululeko was the only one who had empathy for his customer, he treated me with respect, he listened to me, he reassured my while putting me on hold that he is still on the line. He saw that there was no email address against my Vodacom account and that is why my cancellation of a router couldn't go through. So out of 20 consultants he was the only one who saw the problem. Nkululeko was patient, spoke calmly and he sounded in control, like he knows exactly what he was doing. He also proved himself by fixing the problem and assisting me. He made a very angry customer very happy. Nkululeko is an asset to Vodacom. He is proud of his job and he obviously has a passion for assisting customer and treating them with respect! Once again Nkululeko, GOOD JOB, YOU'RE A STAR! I hope you get a promotion because you deserve one!
