I found out about FunDza years ago when I downloaded the Cell C FreeBasics app. I love reading a lot so finding this online library was the most thrilling experience because I now have variety of books to read.” Reflecting on the course, Pulane said: “I learnt a lot from the course, firstly I learnt about different types of saving accounts and how they work, I learnt that paying a debt with a debt is not good. I learnt how the fourth industrial revolution is going to affect people from now going forward. Lastly, when starting a business, a person should not make hasty decisions that would end up making them endure loss not profit. Thank you so much FunDza.
