“Mzansi” in Xhosa language slang means “the South”, as in “Southern Africa”.
This blog is about personal finance from a Southern African perspective.
My name is Kevin. I have been interested in Personal Finance for many years now and am in the process of studying towards the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designations, to be able to help people here in Mzansi to move away from debt and become financially free.
I would like this blog to be a personal finance community, where we can all share tips and tricks about common sense things to do with our money and share with each other our goals and dreams in getting to financial freedom for ourselves and our families.
I enjoy researching financial and lifestyle topics and will post interesting articles and perspectives here on mzansifinance.com.
I am currently based in Johannesburg, but have spent quite some time abroad. I hope to be able to travel to other exotic locales again soon. I am an avid sports fan, so you may see quite a few tweets about sports (@mzansifinance).
Please note: I do not know your complete financial picture, so cannot judge whether any product or strategy will be the right one for you. Please consult your own financial adviser before acting on anything that is written on this blog. My intention is for everything written here to be for informational purposes only. I would like to give you some background to allow you to make your own informed choices. I also do not provide loans of any kind.

Hi. My name is Ashwiil Erasmus, aka Ash. I had a small business that I started in 2007 and it went well until my clients stopped recruiting staff and instead they were laying them off. Yes it was a recruitment agency. It hit me late 2009 and I had to close up shop. Mzani youth. Save is all I can say. If you get big orders in business keep money aside for a rainy day. I now have a health and lifestyle business which I started in December 2010. I import a seed that helps with weight loss.Visit my site. Peace
Amen, brother!
Saving is the key to building wealth…
Good luck with your new venture.

You could definitely see your enthusiasm within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe. Always go after your heart.
