Thabiso Tema, POWER BREAKFAST host, speaks to Ndumi Hadebe, boundaries and self-leadership coach and author of Handle Black Tax Like a Pro, about how for many South Africans, payday does not simply mean paying rent, buying groceries, or settling monthly bills — it also means preparing for requests from family and friends who may need financial assistance.
