KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Finance, Ms Ina Cronjé, will take the Provincial Treasury’s Financial Literacy Campaign to Newcastle in Amajuba District on Tuesday, 28 September 2010.
The initiative is part of the Provincial Treasury’s campaign to educate people about their finances and measures to save money. It is of paramount importance that the government (at all levels), private sector and households put more emphasis towards the savings culture.
The two-pronged campaign will see MEC Cronjé engaging local business community in the morning and later addressing residents who will be gathered at Osizweni Community Hall. Local business and cooperatives will be informed about business opportunities with the provincial government and there will be a detailed presentation on the revamp of the provincial suppliers’ database.
All members of the media are invited to be part of this initiative as they can also play a vital role in disseminating savings messages and knowledge to the public. The event is scheduled as follows:
