monetary policy guideline of the South African financial system do not

not authorized to clear or make any withdrawals from the consignment in the
Security Company because of my political status.

consultant who then advice me that I should seek the service of a foreign
partner who will be willing and able to assist me by serving as my trustee.

lifting of the money.
