Hi Nigel,

Hard to believe, yet true. I'm with ABSA bank which is a very large organization. I've even Googled this yesterday & found many other instances of private individual South Africans voicing same complaint. I firmly believe the major corruption over here, of which most takes place at government level, is to blame for all of this. It's easier to control small fry like myself, as officials just get away with whatever they want. And at least they HAVE to try to clamp down on something...

However, I've just had long correspondence with AJ & he assures me Western Union can bypass all of this. I've only seen one Western Union sign before. I'll try to locate & see them myself. Maybe there's a better way.

In the meantime, the contract workers at the Post Office are still on strike. My stuff is with their main sorting office. All of this is so utterly frustrating to me. I am so desperate for all those upgrades as I'm loosing out on a lot of new stuff.

Hi Rolandfan,

Yes, not one music dealer that I've approached thus far has even heard the word "Audya". So much for their interest in the latest arrangers. It's a shame really. I believe I have the only one in South Africa.

Keep well my friends,

Henni
