Old Mutual On The Money
The On the Money Programme is a financial education initiative created to teach all South Africans how to best manage their finances. The programme is based on the behaviours of South Africa's Big Five animals. The unique characteristics of the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo, as found in nature, have been distilled to teach us how to manage our personal and family finances. The purpose of our podcast is to educate & empower our listeners on money matters using real life situations and financial moments. It features celebrities, industry experts and ordinary people sharing relatable and practical tips through a conversational podcast on their stories & experience on financial matters.
