MSWSA

Money Smart Week South Africa 2018 (MSWSA) is an initiative championed trough National Treasury (NT) and implemented through the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) to promote financial education amongst South Africans through a dedicated week of activities focused around key areas in Gauteng from 8 to 12 October 2018. MSWSA is based on the established Money Smart Week activity in Chicago & MSWSA 2018 will be the South African pilot with the support of our International counterparts. Using a data analytics program, a corridor has been mapped out starting in Soweto, following the M1 and N1 highways north towards Pretoria, ending at Mamelodi. The corridor ranges between 95 to 105 km long and is 6 km wide which encompasses approximately 3,6 million South Africans. The idea is to host MSWSA activities at a variety of venues along the corridor, which represent venues that the population hub regularly uses rather than ushering the population to one designated area. In other words, we aim to take financial education to the people. Our key areas of focus are; Mamelodi Tembisa Soweto Alexandra The National Treasury of South Africa (NT), Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), and Steering Committee of the MSWSA are inviting businesses to participate in this, our inaugural event as we bring financial education, awareness, information and expert advice to the eyes and ears of our communities. A member of the financial sector that will donate or contribute to MSWSA 2018 will earn the points as prescribed in the Financial Sector Code as gazetted under section 9(1) of the B-BBEE Act 53, 2003. MSWSA 2018 is the first in an annual awareness campaign with the following key messages • We're bringing Financial Education to you! • Get informed financial advice from qualified professionals. • Take control of your finances now and safeguard your future.
