No. GBP to ZAR is strengthening as well.
That's their money printer as well.

I bought about 4 weeks ago ... thru FNB, and transferred from Global to US account.
It took about 3 weeks for the transaction and cost a fortune.
Apparently, the bank was querying the term Ezee, being the name of the account. And the lady I spoke to was definitely related to Zuma. Arrogant and dumb.
Right now, ANY transaction with SA is like pulling teeth.

It's going back up. Oh well
Oh boy. I was hoping funds that had cleared exchange control already would be a easier to move, because I'm moving my entire global USD account as far away from SA as possible.

I worked in UK for +-11 years,..and sent fair deal of money back over the years...at rates between 14 and 18.
Not too bad I guess.
Only reason I'm alive today in reality.

I am hoping the rate works my way at some time to send cash back - no doubt I will need to come home sometime - lets hold thumbs.
