Johannesburg - A Cell C customer, angered by service he received at a Sandton City branch of the franchise, put up a large spoof banner in Johannesburg, The Beeld reported on Saturday.
Cell C spokeswoman Karin Fourie told Beeld that they were informed about the banner, put up by a client who was involved in a dispute with the service provider.
Cell C asked both the client and the shopping centre to remove the banner, but this request was ignored by both parties.
She said Cell C would seek legal advice if the banner was not removed.
The banner, which appeared professionally printed and bore the Cell C logo, was prominently displayed along the busy Beyers Naude Drive.
“The most useless service provider in SA -Cell C Sandton City,” it read.
It gave the name of the franchise manager and his phone number, claiming he had said that his “unnamed executive head refuses to assist the customer”. - Sapa
