Money, explained like a friend would.

Rooibos is personal finance education for South Africans. No market commentary, no hot takes, no jargon for its own sake - just clear, useful guides on the things that actually shape your money.

We cover budgeting, medical aid, life cover and insurance, investing, retirement, financial planning, and wills and estate planning. Each guide is written to be read by anyone, whether or not you already know what a basis point is.

Why "Rooibos"?

Because good money advice should feel like a conversation over a warm cup of something familiar - honest, unhurried, and on your side. We aim to make finance feel approachable without dumbing it down.
