Sending money from overseas

Dear Peter,<br> <br> I am currently in Canada and was recently alerted to an emergency back home. The only role I could play in helping with the issue is to send money to my mother. <br> <br> I decided it would be easier if I transferred it from my Canadian bank account to my South African business bank account and then to hers. I made a transfer through that cost $70 in bank charges. That's pretty much R700. <br> <br> The money I transferred is supposed to show up on my FNB online banking profile under the Forex tab but weeks later here I sit and nothing has showed up. I contacted the Forex department 2 weeks ago and they said they would get back to me...and still I wait.
