Clientele
On the 7th of June 2025, I was asked by Busisiwe Ntuli, Induna of Tshehlophe in Mdumezulu, the deep rural part part of Umbumbulu, KZN, to come and enlighten her community as they lack financial knowledge.
The session was held at her home in a rondavel house. They welcomed me with open arms and enjoyed the session.
They enjoyed the game of needs and wants and promised to spend wisely when they get money.
They also enjoyed the planning of the funeral, their funeral were very cheap as most of the thing were done locally, like the graves which are dug in their yards and big rondavel where they gather for funerals and other events.
The dusty road with pot holes was a challenge, but the community was very welcoming.
Induna requested that I come back for other members of the community who couldn't attend because there was a big function in the neighbouring village.
