We know that the best financial journeys are personal. That’s why we’re celebrating Father’s Day with a story that blends purpose, passion and protection. Meet Mbulelo Mpofana, Product Manager for EasyProtect and EasyCredit - and proud father of three.
When Mbulelo speaks about his life outside of work, his tone softens immediately. “I’m a proud father of three,” he shares, “and I’m lucky to be married to a great partner.” His favourite memories? Cheering on his kids at sports matches and holidaying together.
Fatherhood, for him, is “the ultimate commitment.” One that demands patience, resilience, and a kind of love that shows up every single day - not just when it’s easy or joyful, but especially in the messy, thankless, exhausting moments when showing up matters most.
Parenting Lessons, Financial Wisdom
“I’ve seen how a lack of patience or consistency can hurt your investments,” he says. “But somehow, when it’s about your kids, it’s easier to stay committed.”
It’s that insight that drives his belief in long-term planning - and products that don’t punish you for trying to do the right thing. He knows first-hand the strain that comes from dipping into your investments too early. That’s why EasyCredit was built - to help you bridge those gaps without sabotaging your future.
A Solution Born from Experience
Mbulelo’s passion for insurance is rooted in experience. He’s seen what happens when there’s no safety net - both in his own life and in the lives of people he cares about.
“Life insurance isn’t just about money,” he explains. “It’s about helping families continue living. I’ve seen the difference between kids who have that support and those who don’t. It’s massive.”
With EasyProtect, he wanted to help design something different - life cover that rewards investing, locks in affordable rates, and reduces your need for cover as your wealth grows.
Building Legacy, One Step at a Time
For Mbulelo, legacy isn’t just about what you leave behind - it’s about enabling the people you love to live freely and confidently.
That’s why this Father’s Day, we’re inviting you to think long-term:
Mbulelo says it best:
“Legacy is about family, freedom, safety and impact. I want to build something that outlasts me - and helps others do the same.”
