Based on recent customer reviews, Mall Of Africa is drawing significant frustration from shoppers, with parking infrastructure emerging as the dominant pain point. Customers consistently mention malfunctioning ticket machines, congested entry points, and frustrating fees for short stays. A recurring theme is poor service from in-mall tenant stores, including unresolved device issues, broken promises around stock and laybuys, and dismissive staff conduct. Security concerns around vehicle safety also surface. Positive feedback is rare but highlights individual staff members who deliver attentive, problem-solving service when assisting customers.

Worst Customer Experience and Disrespectful Technical Staff. Bought new iPhone 17. Within 3days of purchase battery gets hot, apps freeze and phone is dead slow. Went to store three times spending a mean average of 2hours each when they reload software. Three attempts to get iphone17 and when you request refund; they say wait 3-5days and they charge 20%, they quick to take your money; when it’s refund on their faulty devices; Nightmare! All of this within 7days of buying device. istore policy now override consumer act?…. After submitting device for assessment The technician shouts in queue in front of people; got get your proof of purchase when he processed everything and his got full access of the phone history that was bought in the same store less within a week.

Excellent service from Wisani Makhubele. I've been trying to get statements for my business accounts per month for almost a year. She was able to have them emailed to me while I was at the branch with no effort, since I opened the account over 8 years ago. Well done, great service.

This complaint is directed at MTN management and Head Office due to the appalling and unacceptable service I have received from the MTN store at Mall of Africa (Store No: 1225). I visited this store to apply for a cellphone contract and was informed that the device I wanted was out of stock. I was confidently advised that stock would arrive on Tuesday, 13 January, and that I would be contacted. That did not happen. I received no call, no message, and no update whatsoever. I had to chase the store myself, only to be told that the stock still had not arrived. I was then promised a call back from the store manager. The store manager attempted to contact me on 15 January, which I missed. I returned the call within two minutes and was assured I would receive a call back within 15 minutes. That promise was ignored. After waiting over two hours, I called again and was told the store manager was still unavailable. Today is 16 January, and despite calling the store repeatedly, my calls are now being completely ignored. This behaviour is unacceptable, unprofessional, and shows a blatant lack of respect for customers. There is no accountability, no communication, and no concern for customer experience. MTN expects customers to commit to long-term contracts, yet this store cannot manage basic follow-ups or return a phone call. This is not poor service - this is complete customer neglect. I am extremely dissatisfied and demand the following: • Immediate contact from a senior MTN representative • A clear and honest update regarding device availability • Accountability for the repeated failures and broken promises at this store If MTN does not address this matter urgently, I will take my business elsewhere and ensure others are aware of the unacceptable treatment customers receive at this branch. MTN already has my contact details on record. For identification purposes, one of my existing MTN contract numbers starts with 083 and ends with 2058. Please note that I requested call-backs on a different contact number, which MTN already has on record, and I expect to be contacted via the most recent number provided.
