GIVING

Despite the lingering economic challenges evident in post-pandemic South Africa, affluent members of society are still committed to giving of their money, time and talents to help and support vulnerable people and communities. That’s according to the fifth edition of the Nedbank Private Wealth Giving Report, a bi-annual survey of the giving practices of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in South Africa. Marilize Lansdell, managing executive of wealth management at Nedbank said: “No less than 83% of the HNWIs surveyed for this latest Giving Report gave of their money, time or skills during 2021, with about R4.2 billion in cash, R2.6 billion worth of goods and services, and a total of 3.2 million hours of physical volunteerism provided.”
