Meet the Founder

Meet Zanele Calitz.

Zanele Calitz is a South African financial planner, entrepreneur and financial educator who believes that understanding your money should not feel complicated or intimidating.

She created Finance with Zanele to make financial education practical, accessible and relevant to everyday South Africans. Her focus is simple: helping people understand their money well enough to make confident financial decisions.

Through Finance with Zanele, she breaks down topics such as budgeting, debt, saving, investing, retirement planning, insurance and estate planning into information people can actually understand and use in their everyday lives.

The goal is not simply to tell people which financial products exist. It is to help people understand their money, recognise their options and confidently identify their next financial step.

Zanele is also the founder and CEO of Valor Edge and works with financial advisers and businesses across the financial services industry.

Finance with Zanele provides general financial education. Personalised financial advice is provided separately through Valor Edge (Pty) Ltd, an authorised financial services provider, FSP 50227.

Why Finance with Zanele Exists

Financial education should help you make better decisions with your money.

Money affects almost every part of our lives, yet many people were never taught how to manage it. Finance with Zanele was created to change that.

Our mission is to give South Africans practical financial education that helps them understand where they are today, what options are available to them and what they can do next.

We want to build a trusted place where you can learn about money, use practical financial tools and make informed decisions as your life and financial goals change.

You do not need to know everything about money to start improving your financial future. You simply need to understand your next step.

Learn. Understand. Take action. Build wealth.
