Share your experience

If you have first-hand experience as a customer of Recon Engines, RECO Diesel Engines or Mr Wayne Meintjies — positive or negative — your account can help build a fuller public record. Submissions are moderated before publication.

How this works

You complete the form below. Required fields are marked.
The site operator receives your submission by email. Nothing is published automatically.
Your account is reviewed for accuracy markers (dates, payment evidence where claimed, etc.).
If you have consented to publication, an edited summary is added to the Other Victims page, anonymised by default.
If your submission contains evidence of a crime, it may be referred to MIOSA, SAPS Commercial Crimes, or accredited journalists with your consent.

You will receive a reply within 5 business days if you provide a contact address.
