Inside the motshelo nest-egg

Mmegi: What was the motivation behind setting up the Motshelo account and please give us its brief?

Sefena: We are a bank that exists to help Batswana prosper, and towards the end of 2011, we noted reports of security issues within metshelo, stories of funds being stolen and a lack of reconciliation where members did not benefit from what they had been saving for. Additionally, most groups used spread sheets or even notebooks for reconciliation but at the end of the year, there was no guarantee that these numbers would depict the real picture.
