Poor Services at Webafrica

I am extremely disappointed with Webafrica's customer service.

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to activate an email account through their customer portal, but it still hasn't been activated. During this time, I have spent hours trying to resolve the issue through their WhatsApp support, but they were unable to help. I also spoke to one of their consultants, but that was equally unproductive.

As a last resort, I emailed the CEO, hoping the matter would finally receive attention. Unfortunately, I have not received any response.

A simple email account activation should not take weeks to resolve. The lack of effective support, poor communication, and failure to follow up have made this a very frustrating experience. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Webafrica if you expect timely customer service and issue resolution.

Anelisa T was an amazing representative. She should get a promotion. This agent made a huge difference on how I felt about this company. She was caring helpful. We've been on my query for almost 2 hours and no complaints from my side . She was wonderful and did everything to the tea. You go girl. Just for verification this is Denworia giving you this feedback. Clock it girl. You people better give her a promotion excellent customer service. However the Company I don't like it. The feedback is for the agent not the company you are a horrible service provider

Hello Clyde
We hear how frustrating and exhausting this has been, especially being offline for two weeks and having to repeat the same troubleshooting steps across multiple agents. That is not the experience we want for you, and we fully understand how this impacts your day-to-day, especially your work.

Your case has now been prioritised for focused attention, and our technical support team is scheduled to contact you on Friday. They will take full ownership of your query, review the history of the three tickets and previous tests, and work towards a clear, final resolution without putting you through the same steps again.

ON BOARDING

So far, I am very impressed with the service and the turnaround time of the installation. I applied on Thursday afternoon, and by Friday at 9:30 a.m., Ntokozo was already there and completed the installation in less than 15 minutes. Within 40 minutes or less, my internet was active. I hope the service continues to be this reliable going forward.

Communication could be a bit faster

Communication could be a bit faster, as response times were sometimes slow and updates were not always immediate. However, my order was eventually processed successfully and I am happy with the fibre service and installation overall.One area for improvement would be reducing the waiting time for Vuma installation. In my case, it took close to two weeks, and a quicker turnaround would make the customer experience even better.Despite these delays, I am satisfied with the end result. The fibre connection has been great, and I appreciate that everything was eventually completed successfully.
