GUEST – Angela Beukes - Head of Marketing at PEP

We shine a spotlight on a groundbreaking initiative that’s set to make back-to-school shopping a little easier for South African families. In an innovative collaboration, PEP and FNB have launched a campaign offering school shoes for just 99 cents—a deal that
seems almost too good to be true! Starting from December 26, families with FNB cards can benefit from this incredible offer, which allows them to purchase PEP’s Student Prince Synthetic school shoes, normally priced at R129.99, for less than R1.

This partnership is a first-of-its-kind effort aimed at easing the financial burden of school preparation for parents across the country. Today, we’re joined by PEP’s Head of Marketing Angela Beukes to delve into the details of this initiative, its impact on
communities, and the broader significance of such collaborations during challenging economic times
