The campaigns are aimed at curbing irresponsible behaviour by society during a period where families and friends come together to celebrate.
A financial literacy campaign called Ke Nako, Respect a Cen will feature a musical stage play of the same title in partnership with Postbank which will also be showcased in Limpopo, Eastern Cape, KZN and Mpumalanga starting this week.
This is a campaign aimed at educating communities about the importance of saving and investing especially in preparation for January when school fees, uniforms and other bills have to be paid.
It is also aimed at encouraging communities especially groups such as stokvels, burial societies and saving clubs to open accounts with reputable banking institutions but most importantly avoid withdrawing all their savings in December.

A 40, 30, 30 approach for societies is encouraged where they withdraw 40% in December for the festive season, 30% in January for beginning of year commitments and 30% retained in the account to build more savings.
Get Down Productions will also be focusing on a GBV campaign featuring men to men dialogues and an awareness musical stage play entitled What If, taking place in Limpopo, North West and Gauteng.
Another project under Get Down will be the HIV / AIDS and TB wellness campaign which seeks to promote a healthy lifestyle in the community.
“We have realised the thin line between these three dynamics and how they influence each other.
“We have also realised that money is normally at the very core of most of these issues,” said Matome Rapetsoa from Mahuma Group.
“It’s about time we empowered all South Africans especially women and children to know more about finance issues and how to save and invest. We are on a journey towards financial emancipation.”
