Umm. Banks basically shut down over a weekend. Regardless, they can handle a lower volume, or zero, transactions on any day.

During trading hours, banks have obligations to international partners/organisations - eg SWIFT, FX houses, etc. Imagine an overseas investor was unable to effect an FX transfer or share trade during business hours? The reputational damage to SA as a whole, the institution specifically, and the penalties would be immense.

The only changes that might take place this week, will happen if the ANC decides to make changes.
You guys can march until you are blue in the face, but the real change must come from them.
And history has thus far proven, that not much is gonna change from their side.

as I said.

not marching 0% chance to change things.

marching 0.001% chance, that is better than nothing

No. I am implying, in fact saying it, that people are too damn lazy to stand up for what is right, but they are quick to b1tch and moan on social media about the country's downfall. An initiative like this clearly proves it.

And, yes, with JZ on the stand law enforcement is almost nullified. which means rapists, murders, hijackers, etc get away with murder (pun intended) You don't see the bigger picture. Just move on. Or sit on your couch and complain about it.

So because people don't want to do what you want them to do, they cannot bitch and moan on social media? Getthe****outtahere LOL

It's fruitless. They don't understand that the pressure our financial sector is under currently will only worsen if the financial institutions decide to have an off Friday...

I am NOT just sitting on my couch complaining, I am at work. Not joining this march because of obligations does not take away my right to complain, the same way people think voting does. Nice try with your attempt at guilt-tripping though :crylaugh:

Oh I fully support the protest. However, people need to understand that some people do not have the luxury of being able to participate.

Yeah, even SACP and COSATU, both ANC partners are against him. Wow. I saw a rally in his support yesterday by the ANC Youth League. WTF. Bunch of young idiots are more like it. Why on earth do this lot still support him? It looks like the older ANC supporters are anti Zuma while the majority of the youth are supporting him. I wonder if they aspire to be like him? Dancing on a stage. Many wives. Raping and getting away with it. Stealing millions and getting away with it. I somehow have a feeling that many young blacks are dazzled by this c*nts actions....

I mentioned something similar in another thread about the older folk being willing to forgive and forget apartheid while it's the youth that are still keeping it alive, and I got the response that oppression is still very much alive. They don't even realise it's their own government "oppressing" them now :rolleyes:

You telling me there aren't enough ANC voters employed in the banks? That's a surprise :P Let the few DA guys go into the streets and the ANC voters can pick up the slack.

Being at work on Friday to service my clients and customers = 100% of my reputation as a business.
Some of my customers are borderline, their businesses are on a knife edge.
They are working two or even three shifts to keep their heads above water and survive.
I can guarantee you we will be getting orders on Friday for delivery on Friday.
These guys haven't got tome to faff around on some silly march.
Their livelihood is on the line.

And even if they did have the luxury, but CHOOSE not to for whatever else reason, it is THEIR choice. Vilifying people for not protesting seems an awful lot like what the Neanderthal students did to those that did not want to join their cause. Iron-knee much?

Let's see who is too scared on voting day 2019.
That's all I care about.
Carry on...

I have to agree with Baxteen here. Do you think the people protesting aren't voters? When the chips are down and your facing a what in my personal opinion can currently be labelled as a dictatorship will you also say it'll be fine and dandy cause I'll vote in 2019?

18902 posts. Imagine 30 seconds per post (not counting the time spent reading the threads). PS: I'm not going either, I did cast my vote, that didn't work (But I will vote again), how will marching help?
 
Funny how the "my work is too important to take time off to protest" have some of the highest post counts. #JustSaying

Yes, because that's the ONLY thing that can ACTUALLY make a difference here.
The ANC is not going to change their policies and habits because 0.01% of the population took a day off work.
