    I applied on the 08th April. that was it as far as it goes-bear in mind that one of the application criteria is shareholder status.

    Me thinks people should accept that we are all in this on our own. Dlamini-Zuma and her cronies are sidelining the pres on each announcement he makes. Of course she hasn't relinquished her aspirations of becoming the first woman dictator of communist South Africa. Tourism will remain on the slaughtering list too. I smell another agenda there. So, very quickly, start making survival plans without any hopes of help from the state or any fund.

    Hi
    From FNB with the SAFT after 2 weeks got an sms it was unsuccessful.
    From SMME was asked 3 days ago for more documents and then phoned. After that nothing.
    From UIF nothing just saying there are errors.
    The lessor for our shop is a absolute cow so when we can we will move.

    My take is you can't rely on government or anyone else. We are reopening on Monday to sell stationery to businesses (NCR books forms etc.) and some PPE lets see if a bit of cash can be brought in.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    She is certainly getting a lot of attention for her connections and the comment about ...people cant buy cigarettes because while they smoke they share the "skafe" which will spread the virus.

    No thanks to SMME relief ... just finished at a site meeting... my vacation (which i didnt get in December due to a factory move which worked out perfectly) has just come to an end... look like we are gona be busy for the next 2 months... thanks to this virus and PPE requirements.

    I am so glad i havent taken loans and payment holidays... it looks like i will be back on target to achieve 30 year goal ...debt free and to add to my success ...i even survived a pandemic

    Just the R20k electricity ... i am sure they can wait a month.

    Hi Ians

    If they disconnect your electricity, you know what to do.

    Cheers and peace out.
