South Africa’s “stockpiling queen” Ncumisa Ndelu wants students to break the cycle of toxic relationships with money.
with more than 479,000 members who stockpile groceries in their homes, has partnered with the University of KwaZulu-Natal in a first-ever money conversation event.This first round of the conversation on Monday is aimed at bringing together young people from all walks of life to discuss money matters.
“These money conversations are long overdue. I shouldn’t have had two clothing accounts I couldn’t afford, but right now I am ensuring that my daughter and her peers are wiser about money than I was at their age,” Ndelu said. “I am starting the conversation with students because they are most vulnerable, but also it’s the right time for them to learn as they begin their adult lives. “I know it’s a complicated subject that cannot be finished in one day, but it’s a conversation that must start at home, between friends and even at work.”
She said South Africans were going through a lot and “it’s mostly the usual stuff of living from hand to mouth with no consideration for tomorrow.“We see it with people in informal employment and even civil servants. If you can go around and check on civil servants who retired within the past 10 years, they are flat broke right now because there is little or no planning for tomorrow and that’s a direct result of failing to talk about money.

Since Jagersfontein, South Africa Changes Mine Dam RulesSouth Africa's Department of Water and Sanitation has established a database on which mining houses need to register tailing dams (used to store water and waste from mines) and Dams with Safety Risk. Tailing dams are described as those used to store water and waste from mines, while Dams with Safety Risk are those structures with a minimum height of five metres and are able to store more than fifty thousand cubic metres of water or water containing substance. The new requirements for mines arose after the disaster at Jagersfontein in the Free State province on September 11, 2022 in which residents woke to a devastating mudslide as a wall of a dam, part of a disused diamond mine once owned by global mining giant De Beers, collapsed. Many people were left homeless by the sludge and one person died. Deputy President Paul Mashatile is visiting Jagersfontein to discuss the rehousing of residents, nearly eight months after the event.
