Yoh Bongani! I thought you were the nice guy haha. Brilliant work.

It was me that exposed him in this Carte Blanche expose. If there are others that were not part of the original 30 interviewed by Carte Balance producers, you are welcome to contact me to share your experience. It was a blast working with Bongani and Carol on this. Very very professional outfit. And thanks Carte Blanche for taking up helping SMMEs.

Well done for going public with this & taking this scumbag on. It's now time for the SAPS to do their job & arrest him. He must go to prison for a long time.

I also lost R6500 from this man, you can not serve a warrant to him, as his addresses are all bogus went to the Consumer Goods & Services OMBUD, even that did not help either. And this was their reason: Matter not resolved: Non-cooperation from the supplier so he is getting away with it. Thank you Carte Blanche.

Maybe there should be a private extrajudicial military type organization to start taking on these criminals and cartels. They seem to operate with no repercussions even when there is evidence to arrest them. Obviously cops are not doing anything. Normal everyday people are being affected by this. Most people just want to live in peace but this is becoming a scarce commodity in SA.

Geez!!! The guy is goo in threating and diverting issues and people fall of it.

I’m sure Thabo Besters picture was flashed a few times when you shuffled the pics during the story.

A service like this is actually needed but properly accredited. I just bought a property & I can’t get the seller, estate agent or attorneys to ensure the conditions of sale are met. They are storming ahead with registration, protecting the seller but not the purchaser. The seller lied, removed items & now I am in consultation with another legal firm to try interdict the registration until the conditions are met. I don’t know what to do. We have paid, met all conditions but as per the OTP, all plumbing leaks were to be repaired, which have not been done. The property was also bought as a running guesthouse with furniture all included. The seller has removed items & left the property in a mess. We have all communication in writing, evidence of pictures, and so much more, but as the buyer we are left hung out to dry to pay for these repairs & to replace the missing items. What can I do? Who can help me? I just want the conditions of sale to be met as stipulated on the OTP. 😢

Bongani is a legend!!!!

Dressed in all black, like a true gangstar.

The subject of this story is now involved in the Solar industry selling solar franchises...I wonder if a leopard would ever change its spots ?

Dont you F with Bongani boet, He dont give a Hoot.

Home inspector??? Really …..there is nothing called a home inspector

And he says eskom ceo was poisoned. Are you not the same poison if not worse if at that level you would threaten someone's life for as little as R10000.

Is he operating under his real name? There is just something about him…..

This story is daft, its standard Modus Operandi in South Africa. Rather Pursue where the Comp. Commission is being Bribed to Change evidence in Cases and Make Claims of False Purchases. Even the Tribunal is in on the Deal. Cash Money flowing from Large Franchisors & Brands to Tribunal to eliminate their required adherence to Consumer Protection Act, by making cases Vanish.

Wrong a franchise is not guaranteed success
