Women who bank on better, bank on each other
Bank on better is a promise of trust and the belief that better is always possible.
It’s the strength you draw from those who show up when it matters most.
Whether it’s family, friends, the goals you’ve set or the life you’re building, we’re all banking on something and have people who are banking on us.
This Women’s Month, we’re celebrating women who are doing just that.
Basani Maluleke: Banks on living her purpose through her career
Basani Maluleke is not just the Group Executive of Retail at Capitec.
She’s a purposeful leader who’s grounded in family, guided by vision and deeply committed to making South Africa better.
She banks on using her career as a platform to live her purpose.
For Basani, that means creating solutions that genuinely improve people’s lives.
It means giving her team the tools they need to do their best work. And it means staying rooted in the belief that we are all here to leave the world better than we found it.
Her journey began in law because, at the time, she believed law was the best way to help people. But deep down, she wanted to do more.
That drive led her to Capitec, a place where purpose and impact are part of how we work.
She credits her parents for laying the foundation. They believed in her potential, invested in her education and shaped her belief that she had a role to play in the world.
During Women’s Month, it’s her sister who stands top of mind. As South Africa’s Auditor-General, her sister is responsible for holding the country to account.
She does the kind of work that truly makes South Africa better.
For Basani, her sister’s impact goes beyond the title. It’s in her quiet strength, unwavering integrity and heartfelt leadership.
Their relationship is more than just sisterhood, it’s an example of what’s possible when women bank on each other.
For Basani, banking on better means striving to be better in every way – more present, more intentional, more courageous.
She leads with purpose because her nieces and nephews are watching.
They’re banking on her to make their future brighter. To show them what’s possible when you choose to lead with heart.
When women bank on better, others can too
This year’s national Women’s Day theme is “Building resilient economies for all”.
At Capitec, we’re not just celebrating these women, we’re banking on them. Because when women bank on better, they uplift families, shift communities and shape a stronger South Africa.
So this Women’s Month, ask yourself: Who do you bank on? Who banks on you? And why wouldn’t you bank on better?
