Yanga Sobetwa on Winning SA Idols and Managing Money

Описание: Songstress Yanga Sobetwa was only 17 when she won SA Idols. While her prize money was life-changing, it was a lot of financial responsibility at such a young age. John Manyike, our Head of Financial Education, sat with Yanga to discuss how she dealt with this sudden cash windfall, how she has evolved, the impact of ‘black tax’ on young South Africans and much more.
