As part of an upgrade to their mobile banking app, Capitec has teamed up with EasyEquities - a low-cost investing platform.

'You need to start investing early in your life to make sure that you're looked after when you're older', says Fourie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
