Rhodesian problem

<p>As requested went to fica my account in December 2016, when ID book show birthplace as Rhodesia, I was told because the name Rhodesia not on drop down list I must get in changed at Internal Affairs. When queried why Zimbabwe could not be choosen was informed the emplloyer of ABSA (Manager) would be penalised!</p> <p>Went to Internal Affairs explain problem, they said if all my certificates had Rhodesia they could not change my ID. Returned to ABSA, went to Customer Assistence, explained situation, lady tried had same problem so contacted on her cell phone someone for assistance, was advised to put in Zimbabwe which appeared to work, but was told would have to see if accepted.</p> <p>My problem with this issue is that I have banked with ABSA for over 35 years never had this problem. I am a South African citzen of 36 years so why am I suddenly having this problem. Why was the manager ABSA so unhelpful?</p>
