Unpacking the side hustle: a continuation of the Investec initiative, Saving for South Africa

Saving for South Africa is an Investec initiative that was born out of the necessity to drive the conversation around savings in South Africa. Specifically, we ask what saving means for South Africans and how savings can change a country.

A crucial part of the conversation is the need to start talking about creative ways for people to augment their savings through a second income stream – the side hustle. How can a side hustle add to your income and savings – thus helping yourself and the country? The current stories covered in our series unpack these questions and more. 

 

René Grobler and Nic Haralambous unpack the side hustle

Securing your financial future through your side hustle.

Why was the Investec GIBS Savings Index developed?

"Fresh thinking and a new perspective on the savings dilemma that we face as a nation."

The Savings Index is devoted to stories of transformation and change, stories of countries, communities, and families that make the journey from "poor" to "prosperous".
