The local business channel CNBC Africa (DStv 410) is adding a new show to its primetime schedule from this Thursday night at 21:00 when Jeremy Mansfield joins the satellite channel for a new show entitled Mansfield's Money Sense.
Mansfield's Money Sense will look at financial markets, the economy and investment from an ordinary perspective. ''There are loads of issues out there which viewers with money to invest would want to look at from a common sense point of view,'' says Mansfield's Money Sense host Jeremy Mansfield. ''They are interested in personal finance and investment options and they want information packaged and presented in easy-to-understand terms. I will speak to the experts in ordinary English and won't allow them to lapse into their market jargon.''
''With Jeremy Mansfield joining our line-up, a new group of potential viewers will be drawn to the business channel,'' says Jill de Villiers, CNBC Africa's features editor. ''They'll tune in to see the world of money and investment from a perspective that is relevant to the ordinary person interested in making money.''
Mansfield's Money Sense will discuss ''The world economy in perspective'' on Thursday's first episode. Other upcoming episodes will include topics such as ''The 3 pillars of wealth'', ''Dissecting the Rand'' and ''From Sportsman to Investor''. Mansfield's Money Sense will repeat on Saturdays at 09:00, 16:00 and 22:00 and Sundays at 12:00 and 20:00.
