Creating a financial legacy: essential steps for young South Africans
Explore how young South Africans can redefine legacy beyond assets, focusing on financial literacy and empowerment to build a sustainable future. Image: File Legacy has always mattered. For generations, it was often referred to as what was passed down, a home, a family name, assets, or even a business. As Youth Month draws to a close, it's the perfect time to ask: what kind of legacy are we creating? A shift is being seen across the country. Legacy is no longer only about property or assets. It's about mindset, being intentional, informed, and in control of your own financial journey. It's about something deeper and more active. It's about what we choose to build, the financial habits we form, the decisions we make, and the values we carry forward. For many of us, this journey begins without a roadmap. We're the first generation in our families to graduate, to bring home a steady income, or to think about building long-term financial stability. Often, we figure out things as we go, without much room for mistakes. And in a country where financial education wasn't always easily accessible, that pressure can be overwhelming. Most of us didn't grow up having conversations about interest rates, inflation, credit health, or financial planning. Instead, what we inherited were survival tactics - spend what you have, save as much as you can, don't ask too many questions, avoid debt, or drown in it. However, that vicious cycle ends with us. We're seeing signs of gradual change in how young people approach money. Side hustles are becoming formalised , turning kitchen-table ideas into registered businesses and micro enterprises . Financial literacy is being pursued across social and digital channels, workshops, and masterclasses, and through the guidance of financial institutions and educators. Digital tools are enabling young people to save, invest, and track spending, often from the palms of their hands. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Still, too many of us are moving on autopilot, and in this economy, that's a huge risk. Stats SA Q1 2025 data shows that 46.1% of young South Africans (aged 15-34) are unemployed, with an even more concerning 62.4% jobless rate among 15–24-year-olds. These stats don't tell the whole story, though, as they don't highlight how hard young people are pushing to create stability and success against the odds. What we're also seeing is that while young people have the drive, too few are tapping into the available support and resources that could accelerate their financial progress. FNB's 2024 Report to Society reveals that only 6% of customers under 35 engage regularly with financial planning tools or advice. That means 94% are winging it. This is a big problem because guessing your way through money is expensive. So, here are four things you can do right now, as a legacy-minded young person: Ask questions. Whether it's a financial coach, your bank, or even a trusted friend, there is no shame in learning. Start small and stay consistent. The smallest amount toward saving is still a good start. Progress is built on consistency. Use what you have. From budget tools, advisory services, or even group savings platforms - access isn't the issue; underusage is. Track your money regularly. It's the only way to understand your financial patterns and adjust where needed. And here's the most important part: you don't have to get it perfect; you just have to get started and keep it going.

Trend Alert Prada, Gucci, Dolce: Gen Z's Fashion Shift
From vintage Louis Vuitton bags to timeless Cartier pieces, Gen Z consumers are embracing second-hand with enthusiasm, not as a fallback, but as the main character choice. Gen Z isn't just changing fashion; they're redefining what luxury means. In a world where designer price tags keep soaring, a new generation of South African shoppers is making pre-owned fashion the ultimate status symbol. For them, it's not about compromise, it's about control, consciousness, and curation. 'Luxury is still in demand, but today's shopper is in control,' says Michael Zahariev, co-founder of Luxity, South Africa's leading reseller of authenticated pre-owned luxury goods. 'They want meaningful purchases, things that reflect their values as much as their style.' Owning the narrative Luxury fashion store front in a modern shopping mall. Picture: iStock Globally, sales of new luxury goods are slowing down for the first time since 2009, but in South Africa, the resale market is gaining serious traction. From vintage Louis Vuitton bags to timeless Cartier pieces, Gen Z consumers are embracing second-hand with enthusiasm, not as a fallback, but as the main character choice. It's all about personal curation over conformity. 'There's a thrill in finding something iconic that doesn't scream, 'I just walked out of the store,'' says Zahariev. Whether in Durban, Pretoria, or Polokwane, young consumers are proudly wearing pieces with history, creating their luxury timeline, one unique purchase at a time. ALSO READ:Dr Rebecca Malope to receive lifetime honour at Basadi in Music Awards Sustainability is the new status For Gen Z, environmental impact matters. Fast fashion's ugly footprint has made resale more than a trend; it's a movement. 'Luxury is about endurance, not excess,' explains Zahariev. 'Our clients know that when you buy pre-owned, you're investing in quality that lasts, and making a statement against waste.' With fashion accounting for nearly 10% of global carbon emissions, South Africa's young luxury lovers are increasingly leaning toward circular fashion. Over 50% of clients resell their items later, proving that stylish sustainability is here to stay. Counterfeit culture and the authentication game Luxury handbags. Picture: iStock But with demand comes danger. 'Superfakes' are flooding the market, mimicking high-end items with unnerving precision. Zahariev warns, 'These fakes are designed to sit in the sweet spot, believable enough to feel like a steal, but just cheap enough to raise questions.' That's why Gen Z is turning to verified resellers. Authentication isn't just added value; it's essential. 'Our clients pay for certainty,' says Zahariev. 'They want luxury they can trust.' A new era of fashion With resellers leading the charge and Gen Z driving the shift, pre-owned luxury isn't just a smart choice, it's a powerful one. Fashion is no longer about the newest drop; it's about making every piece tell a story. And right now? Gen Z is writing the most stylish one yet.

New Chinese premium brand Lepas confirmed for South Africa in 2026: here's what we know so far
Another Chinese car brand is set to compete for a slice of the action in South Africa's hotly contested car market, and it goes by the name of Lepas. Although it is a newly launched brand, Lepas forms part of the Chery stable, and it will aim to expand its parent company's presence in the premium segment. The automaker has confirmed that the Lepas brand will be launched in South Africa in 2026, spearheaded by the L8 flagship SUV that was revealed at the 2025 Chery Business Conference in Wuhu, China, in late April. Although the full South African line-up has yet to be confirmed, the L8 is likely to be joined by the smaller L6 and L4 models that were also previewed at the Wuhu event. In time, the brand will expand its line-up to five vehicles, with the aim of achieving annual global sales of more than 500,000 units, Autostat reports.
