@inquestion7: How many times do South Africans have to say NO before telemarketers get the message? Unwanted marketing calls have become a daily frustration, with South Africans constantly receiving sales pitches for funeral cover, insurance, cellphone contracts and personal loans. The problem goes beyond irritation. Unknown numbers could be calls from a hospital, a bank or your child’s school. Instead, they often bring yet another unsolicited sales pitch. Now, the South African government has launched a national system designed to help consumers stop unwanted telemarketing calls. But will this new system protect consumer privacy and put an end to relentless spam calls? Or will South Africans continue receiving sales calls from different numbers? #southafrica #telemarketing #spamcalls #consumerrights #consumerprotection #insurance #southafricannews #InQuestion #privacyrights #government
