Nedbank Private Wealth, which invests in education, chose to remain within its core focus area, although the Nedbank Group has assisted in terms of healthcare and food security. "We had the opportunity to support one of our existing partners, the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT), who needed to pivot to provide support for educators and learners at home," said Hlongwane. "The risk of doing nothing during the pandemic was always going to have greater consequences than taking a risk, being pushed out of our comfort zone, and strengthening our support to our partner as they curated content for distribution via alternative channels like TV, radio and WhatsApp." She added that this adjustment involved "trusting our partner a lot more, shifting more power to them, and letting them take the lead".
