[Naseem Javed] As e-commerce matures, it opens a great door for smart marketing based on some fundamental laws of common sense, which should address bringing out honest and clean messages to ease the pain of the customers.

When the banking industry committed in the Financial Sector Charter to make banking accessible to all South Africans, they realised that it would not be business as usual. Two years before the launch of the Mzansi Account, a dedicated group of bank employees across First National Bank, ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank and the Post Office, through Postbank, started working behind the scenes on, what is to date, a success story.

"And old Dave, he'd go up to his room, y'understand, put on his green velvet slippers - I'll never forget - and pick up his phone and call the buyers, and without leaving his room, at the age of eighty-four, he made his living.
