Over 40% of South Africans are struggling with Debt. With high food prices, the loadshedding and rising electricity costs, inflation rate skyrocketing and interest rates being at the highest in 2023 - we’re all feeling the pressure in our day to day spends.

The Debt Review Centre’s CEO Cornel Strydom, says “A trend we have picked up is that most of our clients only realise when it’s too late that help can be provided to manage their finances. Taking a proactive approach is step 1 in getting a grip on your finances” says Cornel.

The Debt Review Centre, with its Head office in Gqeberha, has been in operation for over 13 years and is undergoing an education & awareness campaign addressing the often-taboo topic of Debt. “The fundamentals of the management of money are severely lacking in most individuals we have worked with, and it is our responsibility as Debt Counsellors to educate the public at large.’’

The campaign will include regular updates on social media, radio campaigns as well as in person and virtual webinars. ‘’The negative narrative about Debt needs to be addressed and we have a duty to inform and address issues head on faced by the public.’’ says Cornel.

The Debt Review Centre can be contacted on 086 999 0785 or via their website www.debtreviewcentre.co.za whereby their highly skilled Debt Counsellors can provide you with assistance.
