A group of friends were happy to cancel their long-planned trip to Thailand as the coronavirus began spreading rapidly, but a month after signing refund forms they are still fighting to get their refund from Sandton-based travel agency, Hey Traveller

They thought the ordeal was over when they signed refund forms with their Sandton-based travel agency, Hey Traveller, but a month later they find themselves still fighting to get their “full refund as per agreement” with Goodness Mashaba, the agency owner.
