This evening on Financial Matters, we look at financial behaviors; what they are, how we identify them, and why recognizing them is crucial for our financial health. Financial behaviors are the habits and actions that shape how we spend, save, invest, borrow, and plan for the future. Understanding these behaviors helps us take control of our finances and make informed decisions. We will be looking at real-world examples, like the two-pot retirement system and the upcoming Black Friday, to see how these behaviors come into play in both saving for the future and managing short-term spending. As usual we’re joined by Dr Frank Magwegwe, Head of Financial Wellness and Advisory at Nedbank and GIBS faculty member.

This evening on change your mindset, Stanley Beckett, author and consultant at changecreatorsa, talk about "The science of authentic happiness - why is it so difficult to be happy?" There is a growing body of evidence that happiness is not something that can be achieved by hard work or good luck. The happiest people seem to be those who are fully engaged in the present, rather than focused on future goals.

During the Fees Must Fall movement, we saw the powerful and symbolic use of naked protests as students fought for affordable education and equality. Some women protesters, shedding their clothes in protest, brought an element of vulnerability and defiance that underscored the urgency of their message. Naked protests have a long history in South Africa and across Africa as a means to call out injustice and confront power structures. Tonight, on Weird & Wonderful, we’re exploring this impactful form of activism, its roots, and why it continues to resonate in social movements across the continent. And joining me for this conversation is Dr Mpho Mathebula, Lecturer in the Department of Psychology, School of Human and Community Development at Wits University.

In today’s episode, we are diving into the 2024 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) and unpacking what it means for South African consumers. This annual budget update is critical because it sets out government’s fiscal priorities, changes in public spending, and revenue forecasts over the next three years. For everyday South Africans, the MTBPS impacts key areas like taxes, interest rates, and government support programs. Today, we'll look at how these policy shifts could affect your wallet, from the cost of essentials to loan repayments and savings. Join Dr Frank Magwegwe, Head of Financial Wellness and Advisory at Nedbank and GIBS faculty member, as he breaks down the key takeaways and discuss what this budget statement means for your personal finances, both now and in the year ahead.
