At the Science of Success masterclass, Zama Zulu explored a belief many South Africans grew up with: “imali engapheli” – money that never finishes. She reflected on how this perception shaped her early understanding of wealth, creating the idea that true wealth is rare, almost mythical and reserved for a select few.
Zama highlighted how this mindset can hold people back. When wealth is seen as something magical or unreachable, it becomes easy to disconnect from the practical, everyday steps that actually build it. She emphasised that real wealth is not about endless money. It is about discipline, consistency and the small financial choices that compound over time.
A key message from her session was the importance of focus. Zama explained that focus is what transforms the mystery of wealth into something practical and achievable. When individuals focus on their habits, spending patterns and long-term financial goals, clarity replaces confusion and intentional action replaces fear.
Her insight was clear. Wealth is not a secret reserved for a chosen few. It is a strategy available to many. And with focus, intention and steady commitment, anyone can begin building a healthier relationship with money and a future they can be proud of.
As we've landed in 2026, lets be reminded that this is the time to use money wisely. Celebrate, enjoy and give, but do so with intention. Because the choices we make now shape the financial stability we carry into the new year.
