Coronation Money Modular module 3&4. Participants were excited to share their stories on how scams and fraud has impacted their finance, one in particular from Nthabiseng Morabe who has experienced a phishing that made her to lose all her savings due to phishing call scam from Jet. She provided all her details including her banking details, pin and id numbers to the scammers and hours later R5780 of her savings was withdrawn from her account. She went to the bank to claim her money but unfortunately the bank investigated the matter and she was called to hear the bad news that she authorized the payment and she won't get her money back. She is now sending the matter to banking ombuds for assistance and she is confident that she will definitely get her money and she will give any stranger her details any more after the sessions. She really appreciate what Avo in partnership with Coronation is doing to her community as a lot of people have experienced the same incident but with no knowledge of where to start.

Clientèle MFS community session went well with the youth of ward 18. Issues of concern came from participants particularly from James Mothibe who shared his experience when it comes to retirements and estates. His passed on 2 yrs before his retirement age and he got all the documents that were suppose to be send to the retirement administrator. He did email the documents as requested but he was told nothing reflects on his father's portfolio,but he insisted as to why the annual report we're send to his father if nothing was not with the administrator. Then after attending the session and he managed to send the documents to fsca previously called fsb and he got his answer within 72 ours of submission from the same administrator to send his banking details for his claim. He has been referring family members and friends for the trainings ever since he attended the Clientèle Money Fo Sho session.

I had couple of sessions at Africa Rise. Im some of the sessions there were couple of young people who are running their own small businesses. They got empowered on drafting their budget and they considered to get business insurance. It was interesting to have young people who invited their parents to be empowered on financial literacy.

I would like to express my appreciation and sincere gratitude to Avocado Vision, Coronation and my Project Manager for the opportunity to Train in the North West region. This being my first time I have already done 10 sessions in Marikana and 1 (Money Fo Sho) in Ramochana out of the 12 allocated sessions. Seeing the participants glow and the smiles whenever they come daily for the sessions led me to wake lively and enthusiastic to facilitate. Yesterday in Ramochana, a lady visiting the North West from Johannesburg exclaimed that she never thought financial training was this interesting. She said that she had visited at the right time. Another older lady who have been selling cakes since her school days expressed her gratitude for this training to be hosted in her village. She is now a successful entrepreneur and appreciated the principles within Money Fo Sho programme. During the past week and half we had religious leaders, politicians, mine workers, community leaders and business people in attendance. Thanks again to all for the difference we're making especially in the rural settings of South Africa.

Training Coronation Money Fosho in 2022 has been a great previlage again like all other years. The Community enjoyed the knowledge which empowers them to make right financial decisions. The opportunity was given to the Community of Tsakane and the Budget Graph is a great added information but now the challenge in most of the poor community which they needed the information people dont have infrastructure and others don't have phones.

I have to date facilitated 4 sessions of the Coronation CFE, comprising 3 Money Fo' Sho! and 1 module (My Budget: Digging Deeper). The impct to the Delegates after these sessions has been profound, particularly with the young adults who are new in the job market. The programmes has empowered them with knowledge and skills to manage their finances(income) effecively, including saving for specific goals,notwithstanding effective Debt Management skills.
