Mtamerri If they give them head starts then, I guess not all is lost. Shucks..

The country is heading down the path of Venezuela, those that have the means should leave now, there is no hope for this Shithole, MYANC completely destroyed this country.

I am a Standard Bank client of many years. I am so upset that branches are closing and jobs are being lost. I care more about people, families who will suffer despite your efforts to prepare them for other fields of employment. This is a deal breaker for me.

Competition and high bank charges won't help the situation either.
