South Africa’s deep economic crisis, now worsened by COVID-19, has once again brought into sharp focus the importance of managing personal finances, particularly saving for a rainy day.
Scores of South Africans have been left with holes in their pockets due to the national lockdown and the situation is not about to improve anytime soon.
The crisis has resulted in a job bloodbath, while many others have been suffering through weeks of "no work, no pay".
It appears that now more than ever, South Africans have been forced to re-evaluate their relationship with money.
