Don’t Die in an Awkward Position: A Campaign Making Wills a Priority in South Africa

Loading player...
This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Grant Fietze, Head of Marketing at Capital Legacy, to talk about their bold and humorous new campaign, Don’t Die in an Awkward Position.

Did you know that 70% of South Africans don’t have a valid will? We explore why so many people avoid this important conversation, the risks of dying without a will, and how Capital Legacy is using humour to spark action and protect families.

From awkward “final moments” to practical advice on estate planning, this episode blends laughter with life-changing information. If you’ve been putting off getting your will sorted, this conversation might be the nudge you need.
