Stokvel Revolution Podcast with Palesa Lengolo is a South African podcast that explores stokvels, saving schemes and community-driven economic models. The show focuses on how people come together in informal financial collectives to support each other, build wealth and strengthen social ties within their communities. It offers listeners insight into the traditions, challenges and opportunities of stokvel culture, presenting stories and conversations that reflect both the practical and social aspects of collective investment and savings.
The host, Palesa Lengolo, guides the discussion with a blend of personal experience, interviews and thoughtful commentary.
