So what happens when the cashless systems don't work?

This is South Africa at the end of the day, anything is possible. How many times have we seen Capitec issues lately.

They basically doing Makro, encourage people to get WW cards without gatekeeping people with bad credit by letting them use their debit cards instead.

They can if its their policy. What they cant do is say they accept cash and refuse you if you pay in R1 coins

Agree, it will become the underground cyberpunk skelm currency, it is the only way to dodge income tax. You will never see mini bus taxis going cashless.

Not only that its worth more than a digital transaction. There are no bank fees so long as you dont deposit it

War on cash anyone?

In Praise of Cash

Fat chance those taxi drivers are gonna bank any of their cash, but even the little they do deposit they do not care about the bank fee for handling cash considering the amount of income tax they're not declaring

Have never seen Capitec’s card system go down ever. Been with them for 11 years now.

*shrugs* Who even uses cash anymore here? If you ain’t using your virtual card loaded to your Apple Watch to tap-to-pay, are you even alive?
