MEET Samke Mhlongo

One of South Africa’s most recognizable personal finance experts, youngest board member of State-owned mineral technology research council MINTEK, and founder of The Next Chapter (“TNC”) Wealth Partners. Samke offers one-on-one personal finance consultations through her company TNC Wealth. Upon Investec Group CEO Stephen Kosseff’s recommendation, she was recently appointed to Maureen Kark and Associates as a financial wellness consultant, where her consultation services are made available to individuals employed at some of the country’s top blue-chip listed companies. Samke’s unique value proposition comes from the debt management and wealth creation expertise obtained during her 7-year tenure as a private banker at Investec Bank Ltd, something not many financial wellness coaches can boast to have. She also has a network of TNC Wealth preferred registered financial advisors and wealth managers for those individuals requiring specific product or investment advice.

Samke engages in corporate speaking, MCeeing and panel moderation. Her delivery style of adding humor, insights on current trends and personal anecdotes to the traditionally fact-based
discipline of personal finance quickly created a following for her thought leadership on millennial, career management and women’s issues as well. Some of Samke’s previous clients include SASOL, Anglo American, Standard Bank and Accenture. Samke’s most popular talks include “Countdown to Financial Freedom”, “Management in the time of the #hashtag”, and “Thinking of an MBA? You can have mine”. More notably, Samke gave the keynote address at the 2017 Centre for Economic Leadership and Development’s (“CELD”) Woman and Finance Summit with an address titled “Managing Money and Building the African Woman’s Wealth Base”.
