Organisations Sought to Take Part in Money Smart Week

The National Treasury, Financial Sector Conduct Authority, and National Consumer Financial Education Committee invite organisations and individuals to participate in Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA) 2026, taking place from 24 to 30 August 2026. This year’s campaign will be held under the theme “Money Smart: The Power of Possible”.

The key MSWSA objective is to provide a national collaborative platform that brings together organisations and individuals across sectors to promote financial literacy and consumer awareness and contribute to a more financially literate society.

Building on the success of MSWSA 2025, where partner organisations delivered financial education initiatives across the country, the 2026 campaign aims to extend its reach and engagement by encouraging broader participation from financial education ecosystem role players. This year’s theme focuses on how financial literacy can unlock new possibilities for consumers, helping them make more informed decisions and improve their financial outcomes over time.

Participation in MSWSA 2026 is open to a broad range of stakeholders, including academic institutions, employers, government departments, regulators, financial service providers, NonProfit Organisations, media organisations, individuals, and influencers who wish to contribute.

Interested participants are encouraged to plan and host their own financial education activities during the week-long campaign, which may include:

  • Face-to-face workshops and presentations
  • Community activations and exhibitions
  • Webinars, gamified activities, and digital learning content
  • Broadcast and social media campaigns

Further details regarding the session will be communicated in due course.
