Unable to close my chequing account from overseas.

I have recently moved to the States and won't be visiting South Africa for the next 2 years. I have been trying to close my account online, but FNB will only allow this in-branch. I do not intend to visit SA in the short-medium term hence going into a branch to close my account is impossible.

Additionally, bank charges have brought my account into the negative, and I am still unable to close this account while bank charges keep adding up. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
