Happy Youth Day 💐

🇿🇦 Youth Day | 16 June 2026

Today, we honour the courage, resilience and voices of the young people of 1976 who stood up for their future and changed the course of our nation's history.

At National Financial Literacy Advocacy (NFLA), we believe that the greatest way to honour their legacy is by continuing to invest in the youth of today. Through financial education, entrepreneurship support, skills development, mentorship and youth acceleration programmes, we are committed to equipping young people with the knowledge, confidence and opportunities they need to build sustainable futures.

More than 50% of the participants we support are young entrepreneurs, reflecting our commitment to nurturing the next generation of business leaders, innovators and job creators. By investing in youth, we are investing in stronger communities and a more inclusive economy.

As we commemorate Youth Day, let us continue creating pathways that empower young people to dream boldly, lead courageously and participate meaningfully in building an economically inclusive South Africa.

"The future belongs to those who prepare for it today."

Happy Youth Day from the National Financial Literacy Advocacy (NFLA). 💙🇿🇦

About Lesaka
Lesaka is on an exciting journey that will make financial inclusion a reality for all who have been underserviced.

It was an honour for our CEO, Nonzuzo Makanda to participate as a speaker at the Sasol Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) Programme, sharing valuable insights on one of the most critical aspects of business growth

The session unpacked practical guidance for entrepreneurs navigating the funding landscape, covering topics such as:
✔️ Understanding the South African funding landscape
✔️ Exploring different types of funding available to businesses
✔️ How funders assess business readiness
✔️ What funders typically look for before investing
✔️ Common gaps identified by financiers
✔️ Practical ways to strengthen funding readiness
✔️ Building investor confidence
✔️ A funding readiness checklist for entrepreneurs

Access to funding is not only about having a great idea it's about being prepared, credible and investment-ready. Through conversations like these, NFLA continues to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools needed to position their businesses for sustainable growth and access to opportunities.

Thank you to Sasol ESD for creating platforms that equip and empower entrepreneurs to thrive.

Throwback to a meaningful engagement with Reaboka Clothing and Textile and the NFLA team.

Moments like these remind us of the importance of supporting local MSMEs, fostering entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for sustainable business growth.

At NFLA, we remain committed to empowering small businesses through knowledge, mentorship, market access and enterprise development initiatives that help turn vision into lasting impact.
Together, we continue to build stronger businesses, stronger communities and a more inclusive economy. 💙
