About Frank Magwegwe

The Culmination of Perseverance. Frank Magwegwe is a financial planning researcher, life planner, educator, academic and professional speaker with a passion for helping individuals and families through the development of a sense of purpose and good financial habits.

“Don’t just live,” says Frank. “Thrive!”

The creation of Frank Magwegwe is one of trials and tribulations that inevitably lead to the creation of well-educated thought leader within multiple disciplines and industries across the country.

Frank began his work journey as a hotel barman which then lead to him being retrenched and unemployed, homeless and looking for much more in his life. Frank then became a fruit and vegetable vendor within Bloemfontein which allowed him to receive the necessary funding for his attendance at Wits University.
Within four years, Frank began his own private company which, through unfortunate outcomes ended in bankruptcy and left Frank unemployed once again.

Frank, however, did not back down on his dreams and over the next decade, the downward spiral became an extensive upward curve into success.

Between 2002 and 2010, Frank applied true grit to becoming the head of various departments throughout various organisations. Frank did not stop and continued ascending the staircase in the pursuit of education. He attended Harvard business school and become a devoted student within the AMP program. By 2016, Frank had become the CEO of an investment company, COO of a wealth business and segment CEO of a retail insurance firm.

Starting his own businesses again by the end of 2016 Frank officially succeeded in doing so and began to attract media attention by founding Frankly Speaking and Thrive.

Inevitably Frank obtained his Ph.D. in The USA and now sits as part of the GIBS Institute of South Africa as a lecturer.
