WebAfrica SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

November last year I planned to move to a different service provider as customer service and pricing was shocking. I dealt with a lady (Celine May) at WebAfrica that arranged an incentive to stay with them which I agreed on. Since then WebAfrica has tried to increase my monthly premium twice and now this month has removed the incentive altogether. Their customer service portals are absolutely ridiculous - I have been on hold for 2 hours on whatsapp waiting for a agent and the Live Chat for the same time with the only answers being: discounts not longer applicable -now billed a full month. No explanation, nothing. I want someone to call me. I want answers!

Still waiting for someone to get in touch with me. This should be a simple, fast fix. Instead I get a generic copy and past response again sent to me privately:

I'm not looking to cancel my contract, I want the deal I was offered in Nov to be given to me without any issues.

I have now eventually been contacted by Celine May with zero initial apology for not responding to any of my multiple mails since last month the 17th to tell me the reason I no longer have the discount incentive is because "we agreed on" 6 months. No Celine, not once in the many many mails we sent each other did you once mention it was only valid for 6 months, nor did you say anything when we spoke on the phone either (a few times) I have screen shots of pricing you gave me. No 6 months mentioned ever. I want what was initially offered to me. I need someone that can solve this to contact me, not someone who is going to lie
