bad deal?

fnb has loaned about r91 million to a major zimbabwean bank in an effort to help the country. some of the money has already been used to buy fuel for zimbabwe as it has suffered from regular shortages of fuel, among other things.

i can't help thinking that this just might be the start of the decline of fnb...

another thing: is my money at fnb helping the zimbabwean government? a government that, i believe, has committed serious crimes against humanity. a government that doesn't like freedom of speech. a government that would rather buy planes than feed it's people...

i am at absa and in a fit of rage i moved my savings to fnb (i still have various accounts at absa), but because of some of the reasons in the post i'm seriously thinking i made a bad move... *sigh* what a mission.

sorry about the comments, i'll lower that to 3 letters. the problem was some-one was posting as the letter 'b' and i thought that sucked!

To damn right. Move to ABSA!

PS. Your comments system doesn't regard my name as 'valid' without me adding my surname - something about needing to be more than 3 letters. It's discrimination I tell you!
