ENABLING PEOPLE TO BE IN CONTROL, RATHER THAN VICTIMS, OF THEIR DESTINY "As custodian of public funds, the KwaZulu-Natal Treasury realises the impact that financial education can have on households, emerging entrepreneurs and our young people. Sound financial management, whether on a personal level or a public level, makes the difference between opportunities missed and goals achieved." KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC Ina Cronjé: Champion of the KZN Financial Literacy Association HOW THE KWAZULU-NATAL FINANCIAL LITERACY ASSOCIATION WAS BORN On 10 December 2010 the Office of the MEC for Finance organised a Briefing to Potential Partners where MEC Ina Cronjé shared the Provincial Treasury’s vision of financial literacy with potential partners. Despite many financial education programmes, it was clear that only the tip of the iceberg was scratched. Collaboration among partners was needed if KwaZulu-Natal was to be freed from financial illiteracy A PLAN COMES TOGETHER At a workshop held on 25 January 2011, an advisory body, the KwaZulu-Natal Financial Literacy Association, was established to provide strategic direction and to co-ordinate operational & other implementation issues. As at 3 May 2011 a total of 45 entities have joined the Association as members. A Steering Committee was elected on 18 February 2011 to start with the coordination and implementation of existing funded programmes and identify the gaps, for which funding will be raised.
