Presidential Hotline
The Presidential Hotline 17737 should only be used when all your attempts to get assistance from a government department, province, municipality or state agency have failed. However, the hotline is not only a complaints line. You can also call to share your views or provide solutions to the challenges in your community.
Other government departments also have dedicated customer care hotlines for information, lodging complaints about service delivery and enquiries.
Some of these numbers - those that start with 0800 are toll-free, which means you don’t pay for the call. If you dial any of the numbers that start with 086, you share the cost of the call with the company or department whose number you dialled. The remaining numbers - those starting with an area code - are landline numbers for which you pay.
