From criticism that the ruling party was no longer able to fill the stadium which bears its name to an unhappy customer’s banner draped from a bridge over a Joburg highway – First National Bank was in the news on Monday morning.
Brett D?@brettddunbar tweeted an image of the sign‚ on the Main Road bridge‚ saying: “@Radio702 @ewnupdates @News24 someone is clearly not happy with FNB. N1 north in JHB”.
The banner added a version of what the banks’ acronym could stand for: “Flippin Negligent Bankers”.
It appeared that the bank’s logo was altered to show an AK-47 in the trademark acacia tree. In the 1990s‚ right-wing groups claimed the assault rifle‚ a map of Africa and a leaping rabbit – thought to be a symbol of the then-banned movement — had been hidden in the bank’s logo.
Dhruv Sheth?@MAV3RICK–TW33TS concurred with the aggrieved customer‚ retweeting it and adding: “Agree with those sentiment‚ had my credit card cloned this weekend and FNB helpline took over 20 mins to answer my call. #FNBneedstowakeup”.
In 2014‚ disgruntled client George Prokas made headlines when he paid R60000 to have a banner erected on Beyers Naude Drive with the words: “The most useless service provider in the country as experienced via Cell C Sandton City.”
The matter went to court.
Elsewhere‚ opponents of the African National Congress attacked the party’s dwindling support‚ mocking the party for using the 40 000-seater Orlando Stadium instead of the 94 000-seater FNB Stadium for its 105th anniversary bash.
Nothin but the truth ?@377c0465b838407 asked: “@ANCJHB Pray tell...what is the stadium’s capacity again? I know FNB is about 90 000 and Orlando much smaller...#ANC105”‚ to which the party’s Johannesburg branch replied: “@377c0465b838407 last year we filled up FNB with privincial manifesto...did u forget it..” – TMG Digital
