I really do hope they will charge you very soon! Else try and see if you can cancel it. I suspect we may well be at R16+ by the next 24-48 hours.

Looking at your posts, it is highly unlikely that you are a isiZulu speaker. Orania resident is more likely. In that case, see below post.

I am really scared. In your experience, is this a good investment for the future?

Since it's directly tied to whatever the rand is, I wouldn't touch it right now.

Quite sad, so many plans have to be cancelled, was planning on a trek again in December, that is off the table now, just flights and USD based quotes are just way too expensive now.

The weaker the rand gets, the more I'm smiling. I earn crypto and US dollars, so when I exchange my dollars, I'm smiling all the way baby.

Sucks for others though. Sorry guys

Some nice specials on GoG yet I can't purchase cause of this. Will rather wait for the next round when it is around R14 again.

Where do you live? In SA? Then you can be earning dollars, but your cost of living is increasing too.
