Kkkk standard bank this is poor decision,moving backward kkkkkk
While it is a good gesture, I feel the amount is not fit for a bank. It’s like a person donating. Come on people, banks are reaping us day-in-day-out, why this meagre money for a big celebration?
Is it One Million or 10 Million? One million like 2,000USD equivalent? What is the news here!!! Standard Bank??? Come on?? You mean if you give me K100 bz I need support, then I have to thank you??
