Stokvel Academy

A new journey begins!
Today, Stokvel Academy officially launched the Stokvel Academy eYaphusha Youth Club, a youth-driven stokvel focused on entrepreneurship, bulk stock buying, mentorship, and building sustainable businesses within our communities, for the youth by the youth.
The club launches with 10 young members from Soweto and Orange Farm who are ready to learn, grow, save together, and create opportunities for themselves.
This is more than a stokvel, it is about developing business-minded, financially disciplined, and community-focused young entrepreneurs.
The future is bright with Siyaphusa!

The session was highly interactive with stokvel and community members actively engaging and sharing experiences. The discussion reflected a strong commitment to learning, collaboration and building financially sustainable communities.

Thabiso Kutwane from FNB emphasised the importance of budgeting as a tool for personal financial empowerment. He further highlighted the benefits of collective buying within stokvels for acquiring bigger assets as well as the role of digital solutions in enhancing transparency and the effective management of stokvel accounts.

Busi Skenjana, founder of Stokvel Academy, shared powerful insights on the importance of sustainability, good governance, financial transparency and embracing technology as key pillars to help stokvels grow and thrive for generations to come.

Stokvel Academy held a Financial Literacy Workshop in Orange Farm, where Stokvel members and community members were empowered with practical knowledge on improving stokvel sustainability and strengthening governance. Valuable financial tips on how to maintain a financially healthy life were also shared. It was an engaging and insightful session filled with learning, participation and community empowerment.

The future of smart money habits starts now.

Mbambo, award-winning international speaker and bestselling author of Winning The Money Game – A Guide to Financial Well-Being, shared powerful nuggets of financial wisdom with attendees at the Stokvel Academy Financial Literacy Workshop at South West Gauteng College, Molapo Campus.

His message was clear: if you want to win with money, you must first understand the rules of the game. Financial success doesn’t happen by chance, it happens by design.

He also challenged participants to stop building alone. Real wealth is built in collaboration. When you combine skills, share vision, and move as a team, growth multiplies and opportunities expand.

Learn the rules.
Build together.
Win the money game.
