Web Africa Networks ignoring request to cancel domain names

I submitted requests via email to have my domain names cancelled and the only feedback I am getting is their automated system that sends out notification that they received it. And yet no one from Webafrica is sending a reply that they are going to start the process. I requested the domain names to be cancelled on the 16th of January 2017 and hoped that someone will actually read the email and start the process. I received a notification instead saying "Due to your late response to have the domain name cancelled, can you please cancel the payment that I need to make for the his month. Good day, I trust that you are well today. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the late Response. I have now escalated your account to our cancellations department to submit cancellations. One of our skilled consultants will be in contact with you shortly." Delaying tactics just to keep taking money from my account. They are so unprofessional.

Web Africa Networks fibre installation

Applied for Fiber in September 2016 was told it would take 4-6 weeks, then after 8 weeks, still no Fiber, struggled to get any response from Web Africa, until finally they replied, told me they have a high volume, but it will be 1-2 weeks still. Another month goes by, and a number of emails send again, because trying to get through to someone valuable regarding this on phone-IMPOSSIBLE! Finally get a reply, saying we can expect it by February 2017, so I am sorry, I have to seriously BEG them to answer my mails, then I have to hear, I have to wait another 2 months, so lets say it actually happens by February, I had to wait 5 months for fiber to be installed!

Web Africa Networks breach of contract and bad billing

Who is supposedly a web hosting company, who will only host part of your website and the rest you have to get, either another company to host it or pay Web Africa additional monies. This is not made explicit in your contract with them which they call an agreement [I wonder what is the difference?].
Then, upon cancelling my "agreement" I am expecting to be reimbursed for the subscription paid for by myself, however, I had to constantly remind them of their obligation to reimburse and I am still waiting after several response by them to say they will see to the matter.
I found the management down to the billing department completely inept and clueless of their own dealings. Company's like this should not be given license to operate.
Speaking of the billing, it is mind boggling. They had to resend the invoice several [more than three times], eventually I gave up on them getting it right. There is no clarity in their systems, from management to their account section.
To recap my gripes...false advertising, unclear contract/agreement, pathetic accounts department and inept management.

My Partner who is reliant on wifi for her income has not had wifi for two weeks now. Despite subscription payments being up to date, Webafrica simply refuse to assist her.

A terrible dilemma.

It is impossible to cancel your service.

They keep charging you every month, by canceling inactive accounts in your name and leaving active ones running and being you every month.

I canceled 25th aug.

Then again 25th Sept.

Then again 5th Oct.

No confirmation of cancelation and they are still deducting money from my account.
