I know a few people use to do this a lot to get their float up, afaik you can't anymore.
A long while back I had friends who needed a certain amount of money in their accounts to obtain visas etc so their folks all pooled together and stuck the required money into one persons account, they would get the visa and then the money would be moved to the next persons account. If I remember correctly it's not that easy to do that any more
Plus there was always the danger of customs stopping you this side and checking to see if you had enough money in your account.Morgoth

I remember something similar where people transfered say R100 between 5 accounts or who used 10 credit cards to raise money for a loan or something, but its quite hard nowadays.

Wow. Desperate times. But have to say, I admire the creativity that went into this idea. Quite interesting.

hmmm, sounds good but whats your story to convince me to donate you R1 ? I dont think you can do an EFT for R1 as the bank charges will be R3-R8 bucks depending on the bank. There goes the first part of your plan, what you could do is setup lots of churches and get donations which is much easier, and theres a few other ways but you have to drop your morals/ethics a bit.
Haven't thought of a story yet. EFT transactions I don't think will be a problem since we can transfer money here via the net for free. As for the dropping of morals and ethics, I'd go so far but not too far if you get what I mean...
