Netizens react to woman’s electronic misfortune 

Briefly News reached out to a small business owner, Asiphiwe Hanjiwe, who sells used laptops to students, to understand better how a company deals with refunds. Hanjiwe highlighted that:

“Students do get NSFAS, but it is not enough money for them to afford to buy in shops like Makro because if they have high prices of which on another side they have special personal needs to do, e.g. buying groceries for themselves as some of them are coming from poor backgrounds.

“I test the batteries and software before delivering them to the customers. For returns, you don’t return the laptop after three months. You don’t return the laptop if the damage is your fault. If the customer returns within the warranty period, we exchange it.”

@🌸Nolitha🌸begged her to:

"Please return that thing, don't stress yourself about it dear. they must give you a new one or refund."
