A week ago I applied, through my "personal banker", nogal,for a loan to buy shares from a fellow director in one of the companies of which I'm a shareholder, and made it clear i wanted it repaid in 9 months. I own Industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural properties, motor vehicles etc etc, and owe Jacks**t, no bonds, hps overdraft etc etc.The loan is 1/40th of my nett worth. The value of my shares on the JSE is 8 fold greater than the loan I asked for. "No ways" they said, have to take a bond on one of the properties, My reply...."No Ways, go suck eggs" . I've been with these clowns from the days they were Netherlands Bank, the may be green, but have made me Raging Red. Yet I've an employee,who owns absolutely nothing and I'm trying to help, only earning 8 grand a month yet has an unsecured loan of 85 grand. Something wrong somewhere....sorry guys but just had to let off steam
