Engen Malmesbury owner Gey Kriek and Engen's regional sales operations manager-WC, John Bailey recognised Bongani for his excellent service and presented him with a gift card on Friday, 15 February 2019.
The Facebook post has since been shared thousands of times and inspired a number of other customers who have also experienced Bongani’s charm and an excellent eye for detail to join in and share their own customer service stories:
Some of the comments included:
“Bongani is a living example of Service Excellence and what our domestic and international tourists/visitors alike are always looking forward to as lifetime memories…. keep it up young man...thank you Brian De Beer for sharing such a positive and heart-warming experience” - Mabandla Kelengeshe.
“Wow I love it, that’s the spirit we need for our country to prosper, well done to both of you, keep up the good work” Zitho Tshabiso.
“I did a road trip a few years ago and had the same sort of service in most areas except for major centres. It is a two-way operation you show respect for the job they are doing and they will give you good service. Don’t just say fill up whatever your fuel is and leave it at that. Your attitude gets you the service you want” – David Taylor.
