My plans with regards to me going to Durban were that, I'd fly to Durban on Monday 19th and return on Friday 23rd, @comfydick offered to give me money for my flight and I sent my banking details.
If I wanted to scam him, I would have asked him to send the money via checkers money market, since he went there anyway to enquired about the prices before sending me the cash.
I can't risk it by scamming a punter who has my real name, that could back fire in a bad way.

About my trip to swaziland, it was not "convenient" as one punter said in another thread.
I've been going home almost every weekend to sort out personal stuff and also because my mother is sick and her medication not available back home.
I have an arrangement with the pharmacy to buy the meds on a weekly basis.
So NO, I did not buy myself a ticket to swaziland instead...

I was supposed to return sunday evening but I couldn't. Monday evening I asked Blue to post on the forum however I neglected to tell her the urgency of the message, it slipped her mind and she posted after she saw @comfy's thread.
She phoned me and told me what happened and gave me @whitewhite's number because she has it. Last night. Immediately after crossing the border I made contact with whitewhite asking him to pm my personal number to comfydick.

As most of you would know this, I come from a the rural parts of a very poor country so the only means of communication is via the landline. There is no cellphone network let alone an internet cafe.
I have Blue's personal number that's why I thought of using her as a go between because I misplaced my work phone so I had no way of calling anybody who's number is not saved on my personal phone.
@kraatos, How do you figure I have a reputation of going MIA???
@comfydick Please call me

At the end of the day this is between comfydick and Naledi. If he is happy with her explanation then who are we to judge.
BTW did not see any hint of an apology in the post above.

The arrangement was done privately between comfydick and myself. I was just explaining what happened since everybody thinks I ran off to swaziland with his money.
The apology will be done in private and also we'll work out something going forward in private.

Unfortunately due to it hitting the forums it's shaken faith among punters and ladies, I do hope it gets resolved and comfy gets his money back.

Ok I have tried to phone both Naledi and Blue but they are not answering their phones. I accept Naledi's explanation it is just unfortunate that to get it I had to elaborate the saga on this forum.I will try later on to phone them.

This could have been resolved quietly between the two of you, comfy. Is there no longer adult male and female confidentiality agreement anymore? Does everything have to be aired here on the forum?

Exxon, I tried to do it privately.1.I tried phoning from saturday to see if she needed a lift from the airport but no reply,sat,sun or monday. 2. If you read my comment on Naledi's thread "umhlanga rocks or morningside" you will see I posted a very low key comment that I may have been taken for a ride.This was an attempt to elicit a response and to keep it subtle however after 6 hour nothing was said or heard so I decided to up the ante and boy o boy did I get a response.what options did I have?just shut up and accept it or try to get some answers.

Comfy I applaud how you dealt with it. I myself would not have been as kind as you.
