- The Limpopo mentor warns that young people must also understand the risks linked to online trends and financial trading activities.
The war in the Middle East is affecting economies across the world. This could lead to job losses if there is no early action to protect workers and small businesses.
Entry level jobs, incomes and working conditions are already under heavy pressure.
Ashirus Monhla from Botlokwa in Limpopo says young people must prepare. He says they need strong financial knowledge to survive these hard times.
Monhla, known as Leadership Monhla, says teenagers should learn basic money skills. He says they must understand stocks, bonds and market trends.
He says this knowledge helps young people make better decisions. It can also open ways to earn an income outside of traditional jobs.
“By participating in trading activities, teens develop a better understanding of how financial markets operate,” he said.
Monhla has joined Trade245. He plans to visit schools and universities to teach young people about financial markets and show them how trading works.
He says mentorship is important. It helps beginners avoid mistakes and learn from people with experience.
Monhla warns that young people must also be careful. He says they must understand the risks linked to trading and online trends.
Monhla has mentored more than 50,000 people over nine years. He has reached close to 100,000 people through events and the internet.
