26 April 2010
The South African Communist Party (SACP) Moses Kotane branch in Dealesville in the Free State Province will be holding a peaceful protest march in Dealesville against the profit motivated decision by First National Bank (FNB) to close 34 of its branches in small towns in both the Free State and Northern Cape Province.
This move by FNB would bring banking service delivery to a complete halt in these poor communities.
The march will take place on the 28th of April 2010. All those who would be affected are being mobilized to come out in their numbers against bringing banking service delivery to a virtual halt in the affected areas. The planned march has already received positive response from farmers, business owners, employees and employers. We are expecting a turnout of +- 750 participants at the march scheduled for the 28th April.
In defence of financial sector transformation!
All members of the media are invited to attend the march.
