		<description><![CDATA[Across Africa, women are the backbone of informal trade, micro-entrepreneurship and community-based commerce. They run cross-border businesses, drive household economies, and power the continent’s most resilient markets. Yet millions remain ‘credit invisible’. Tonight, as part of our Women’s Month coverage, we speak to someone who is working to change that. Jeannine Naudé, Vice President and Head of Africa Regions at TransUnion Africa, helps us unpack how Africa can dismantle credit invisibility, unlock capital for women entrepreneurs, and build financial identities that travel across borders. <a href="https://www.kaya959.co.za">www.kaya959.co.za</a> &middot; <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<title>Women’s Financial Confidence vs Financial Freedom In South Africa</title>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.qa/e/1705606</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[South African women are confident — but they’re not yet financially free. That’s the headline from the inaugural 1Life Women’s Life Confidence Index, which surveyed nearly a thousand women across the country. The research shows that 57% of women feel mostly or completely empowered to make decisions about their future. But despite this confidence, 38% say insufficient income is the single biggest barrier to achieving financial security. To help us unpack these findings, we’re joined by Hayley Parry, Money Coach and Facilitator of 1Life’s Truth About Money. <a href="https://www.kaya959.co.za">www.kaya959.co.za</a> &middot; <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>
