Everyday Life

Is The Customer Always Right?

From a consumer’s perspective, the answer is yes. We have all been victims of poor service delivery at one time or another.

Caring, professional and sensitive.

At last year’s Royal Show in Pietermaritzburg, I purchased an outside patio set. I was promised delivery within four to six weeks.

Ten months later, I have still not received my goods. The harsh reality is that I have been scammed in an almost legal way with no option for recourse, including that of help from the Consumer Protection Act.

Branches in Durban & PMB Tel: 031 205 9959 / 033 342 6116 oakleighdbn@oakleigh.co.za oakleigh@oakleigh.co.za

On the other side of the spectrum, I as a service provider have had to deal with unscrupulous clients over the years (fortunately not many) who had no intention of paying for services received.

Buffalo, Berea, Kikuyu & Cynodon to the public & contractors

Growers and suppliers of all turf varieties

ColleCT or we supply, deliVer, planT To all areas Tel: 031 785 1342 Cell: 082 558 5519 instantturf@mweb.co.za

The irony is that we all have an understanding of what we believe is fair. Sadly our fairness is often one-sided, having no concern for others. I, as a funeral director, walk alongside grieving families and endeavour to lighten the load as much as I can. I am called to go the extra mile every day and can say the reward is all mine. I can’t take away the hurt, but also don’t have to put stumbling blocks in the way either. Where a client has not been entirely satisfied, I will always attempt to remedy the situation.

Hospice Week – Passion for Compassion

Smartie Party Planners

HOLIDAY BOOT CAMP ON 13 & 14 July

The theme for this year’s Hospice Week, 3 to 10 May, is “Passion for Compassion”.

The aim for this week is to demonstrate compassion in communities and to reflect on the compassionate care that hospice workers provide for patients and their families.

Samantha 074 764 3342 Sue 084 395 0379 BBM: 2A4FCE88 smartie2party@gmail.com

Hospices will use this week to raise awareness through various activities to highlight their essential services, which are provided regardless of the patients’ age, religion, race or ability to pay. Hospice is not about death and dying but about life and living, living as actively as possible with good quality of life. 98% of hospice care is provided in patients’ homes. The 156 member hospices will use the opportunity to advocate their way of life which is palliative care.

Painting PMB Yellow to Save Children’s Lives on the Roads South Africans Against Drunk Driving (SADD) works with the World Health Organization (WHO) and are one of 130 approved international NGOs who belong to and are supported by the Global Alliance of NGOs advocating for Road Safety and Road Victims. Car crashes are the leading cause of injury/death amongst children and young adults.

Our kids and especially boys are dying at an unacceptable rate. Buckling up and enforcing this rule alone would save about 50% of these victims. Four children are killed on South African roads every day, with many others being injured or paralysed.

The UN Global Road Safety Week from 4 to 10 May this year is dedicated to child road safety. The campaign #SaveKidsLives is calling for a global effort to raise awareness of poor child road safety worldwide and to bring political action to change this. If the

government will not listen to adults, maybe they will listen to children!

SADD will be working with about 20 schools around Pietermaritzburg. Children in #SaveKidsLives t-shirts and decked out in yellow, will be recording their personal worries, experiences and solutions to our road traffic problems. This project is about getting the kids to be involved and do their own filming, signing the pledges, etc. SADD will get then get these messages and clips to the politicians and media. They are asking for businesses and schools to donate to SADD and/or ‘go yellow’, hang up banners or wrap trees (with the logo displayed in koki or paint) and to sign the pledge on www.savekidslives2015.org.
