Honouring fee? You mean dishonorable fee!!!

The last few months the bank has decided to take approximately R 1200 in honouring fees. (That's R 400 a week)

But to honour what??? I swipe my card when I have money available. Once I have swiped, the money is removed from my available balance in my account and it says 'outstanding card authorization' or something like that. It actually means that it's pending the company I just swiped at to do banking. Point of the matter is that the money is not in my account anymore, I cannot spend it. I'm not spending more than I earn... but still I get slapped with R 400 honouring fees. Honouring what...?? Dishonesty. And I'm sick of it.
