Join the Movement: Nationwide Call for Transformative Financial Education Masterclass!

Old Mutual Namibia is making waves in the financial education sector with the exciting launch of its inaugural Financial Education Masterclass! This pioneering initiative is all about empowering Namibians by providing them with the essential tools to take control of their financial futures.

This masterclass represents a golden opportunity for residents across this beautiful nation, as Old Mutual aims to reach a broad audience by inviting individuals from all corners of Namibia to participate. To express your interest in attending this free session, simply complete a brief online survey. This approach ensures that those who are eager to enhance their financial literacy have the chance to do so, especially in areas where such resources may be limited.

The excitement doesn’t end there! Based on the survey responses, two regions will be selected to host the first masterclasses, with the much-anticipated announcement scheduled for August 11 on Old Mutual’s official social media platforms. The sessions are expected to kick off in September or October, marking the beginning of a transformative journey for many.

Old Mutual Namibia’s commitment to financial education is not just a one-off event. The company has plans to expand its Masterclass initiative, introducing it to all 14 regions of Namibia over time. Starting in 2026, the company will add two new beneficiary regions each year, ensuring that every nook and cranny of the country benefits from enhanced financial literacy and empowerment. As Mignon du Preez, the Group Marketing, Public Affairs, and Sustainability Executive, aptly put it, this structured approach guarantees that the initiative positively impacts communities nationwide.

Each masterclass will kick off with a keynote address from the esteemed financial education guru and creator of the On The Money (OTM) program, John Manyike. Under the captivating theme of ‘Unlocking Your Financial Future with OTM’, attendees will gain invaluable knowledge and skills.

Participants will not only leave with practical tools for managing their finances but also receive a certificate of attendance, signaling their commitment to personal financial growth. The On The Money program aims to demystify financial concepts through storytelling and relatable African metaphors, focusing on critical areas such as budgeting, saving, debt management, planning, and investing. This initiative has already touched thousands of learners, young people, employees, and entrepreneurs across Namibia, significantly enhancing lives and fostering a culture of financial awareness.

If you’re interested in embarking on this financial empowerment journey, make sure to participate in the survey here: Survey Link.

With such initiatives, Old Mutual continues to pave the way toward a financially literate and empowered Namibia, reinforcing the importance of financial education in building a stronger economy.
