    In an economy where the survival of small businesses has become uncertain, the prospect of buying into a seemingly successful franchise with good returns was irresistible. The franchisor promised training, a business plan and software to ensure every chance of scoring big in the property game. But that’s not what he delivered. As the ink was drying on the agreement, the franchisor turned on his customers, verbally abusing them and threatening violence. Carte Blanche investigates.

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.

    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. 😢
