Invitation to become financially savvy
Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA), an initiative of the National Consumer Financial Education Committee (NCFEC), is a financial literacy campaign aimed at motivating and empowering South Africans to become better educated about their finances.
MSWSA 2021, held in conjunction with Global Money Week, is taking place virtually between the 22 and 28 March and will consist of a host of online events throughout the week, all of which will be live streamed on www.mswsa.co.za.
Any organisation, institution or individual across various sectors including financial institutions, nongovernmental organisations, (NGOs), public benefit organisations (PBOs), companies, schools, universities or communities are invited to apply to host a digital event and to join this national collaboration to expand financial education in South Africa.
The low savings culture and the failure to service debt, together with a decline in disposable income, and the financial impact of the pandemic, makes a campaign such as MSWSA 2021 even more vital to improve the ability of consumers to make sound and informed financial decisions.
