@StandardBankZA I am appalled at your ongoing harassment of customers in the name of “special offers” (read: selling insurance)😡This morning I got an sms to say someone will call, which I opted out of (and had to pay for that sms!) But I was still called!! #violatingPOPIA

A week has passed, and despite emailing 3 DDGs, and receiving a response (from 1) that it will be looked into, we are no closer to being able to apply for a passport. The profile is still blocked and says another application is in the system for this ID number 🤦🏻‍♀️ @HomeAffairsSA
Replying to @HomeAffairsSA
@HomeAffairsSA I would like to request urgent assistance in clearing the block on my son’s ID number on the eHome Affairs portal, so that he can apply for his ID & passport which he needs urgently as we plan to travel in the last week of June. We started application in Dec-2021

When he was 15 years old. We have been trying to get this solved since then with many problems (system offline etc). And now it is urgent. Now he is 16 and the previous application must be removed before we can apply under his name. Please can someone assist us urgently? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Discovery_SA Our home flooded early on Sunday due to a burst pipe. I lodged a claim first thing Mon morning, was promised an assessor would call - numerous follow up calls and emails later they finally called at 4pm today. But the 1st appointment to assess is next Monday!

The assessor proudly said that Discovery had authorized them to bring dehumidifiers - but what good will these do if only brought 8 days after the flood! We are on day 3 and the smell is already unbearable. We have 2 kids with Immune deficiency, who are at serious risk here.

Discovery Health pays thousands of Rands a month for their treatment, but will now let them live in a hazardous environment for a whole week because no assessor will come out. I am very disappointed at Discovery Insure’s lack of communication and service☹️

Simplify the science and tell a good story. We partnered with @ThutoTv & PHRU at Bara to create infographics to help young adults make informed decisions about getting vaccinated. We did this with NO funding 🧵 1/13 @chrisvick3 @miamalan

Just because you can’t always see Primary Immunodeficiency, doesn’t mean it is not there! PI may be invisible, but it is not imaginary!! #yougottaknow #jmfworld #info4pi #primaryimmunodeficiency #awareness #butyoudontlooksick #education #health #healthcare #patient #physician

Did you know-the process to manufacture Plasma Protein Therapies is lengthy because several complex steps must be taken to ensure products are safe and effective? @PlasmaProteins states that on average, the production of Plasma Protein Therapies takes 7-12 months!#info4pi #plasma
