– a free financial course

says that would-be learners simply need to register on the site to access the course.

“Those who complete all course modules by the end of August will receive a certificate of completion, while the top ten participants who score an average of 50% or more are entered into a random draw. Once entered, they stand a chance of winning one of 10 prizes.”

She adds that through registering via the site, learners also receive free access to FunDza's archive, which includes educational books, short stories, essays, poems and more.

Lea-Anne Moses, Executive Director at FunDza, says that the story told in Making it with the Majolas is very much aligned to this year's Mandela Day theme: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

“Since 2019, FunDza has worked with the Momentum Metropolitan Foundation on the Majola project, which uses the story as a vehicle for financial literacy education. The stories are exciting, and the characters are easily relatable. Each story forms the basis of the course competition. This year we've focused on entrepreneurship, showing young people how to start a business by tapping into their networks and using resources at their disposal.

“We believe everyone will benefit from the lessons shared in this year's course.”

As South Africa closes off Youth Month, Metropolitan has also re-released the first two editions of its Majolas financial literacy course, Moving up with the Majolas and That Majola Magic, for those who want to brush up on their financial knowledge ahead of the release of Making it with the Majolas on 18 July.
