💡 This week on Wealth Zen, Charmaine Soobramoney reveals why mentorship is the ultimate wealth hack—especially in a country where 60% of youth are unemployed. Discover how a 2,500-year-old Greek myth could solve South Africa’s triple crisis (poverty, inequality, joblessness).

🔍 You’ll Learn:
The shocking stats: Only 1,679 active mentors for 335 mentees in SA’s National Mentorship Movement (launched in 2015!).
"Mentorship isn’t charity—it’s ROI." How mentors gain more than they give (hint: legacy > money).
The 67-minute challenge: How CEOs honor Mandela by mentoring hungry young professionals.
Charmaine’s golden rule: "Never approach a mentor without answering this one question first…"

💡 Why Listen?
"Your network is your net worth—but only if you know how to mine it." — Charmaine
