Event Description
Established in 2018 by the National Treasury, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the National Consumer Financial Education Committee (NCFEC), the annual campaign promotes financial literacy, consumer awareness and informed financial decision-making among South Africans.
As part of MSWSA 2026, the South African Insurance Association (SAIA), in collaboration with Mosidi Shomang Trading CC, will host a consumer-education webinar on 3 September titled “Balancing Affordability and Protection in Challenging Economic Times.”
The webinar forms part of SAIA’s “Know Your Insurance” Consumer Education Radio Programme and will focus on helping consumers make informed insurance decisions in an increasingly challenging economic environment.

The discussion will cover:
- Practical ways to manage insurance costs;
- The factors that influence insurance premiums;

This ongoing commitment was recently recognised by MSWSA, which acknowledged SAIA for its contribution over the past five years to collective efforts to advance financial literacy and consumer awareness in South Africa.
