Mandela Day 2024❤️ As part of the Groups Mandela Day initiatives, DNI employees spent the day volunteering at the Pimville Boys & Girls Clubs of South Africa (BGCSA) for Mandela Day. BGCSA focuses on uplifting the community and inspiring the youth of South Africa to achieve their ambitions. Necessary painting and refurbishment services were provided to upgrade, maintain and restore the exterior of the facility. Boys & Girls Clubs of South Africa offer after school care, educational support, career guidance, nutritional meals and enrichment activities in settlement areas to over 1800 children from grade R to grade 12. Exposure to technology and computers via media rooms is provided and sponsored by DNI to encourage future-forward youth with technical knowledge, and an interest in computer literacy, programming and digital design. In the true spirit of Mandela Day, DNI is leading by example, exhibiting that everyone is capable of transforming South Africa by making a positive impact and celebrating fundamental human rights and dignity. Thank you to the DNI staff members who participated in the refurbishment project! All positive change is the result of every small action and effort contributed towards a worthy cause. “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Mandela #MandelaDay #BoysandGirlsClubsSouthAfrica #NelsonMandela #makingadifference #corporatesocialinvestment #BGCSA

When DNI invested in the Paymenow Group in 2020 via Digital Ecosystems, we recognised the immense value of EWA in improving financial well-being, inclusion and flexibility for millions of employees globally. For this reason, we decided to partner with Paytime a leading EWA provider in Australia to address and improve employee financial wellness and reduce stress. 60% of working Australians experience financial strain which not only affects their personal lives but also their performance at work, leading to increased absenteeism and high turnover rates. Paytime's intuitive platform seamlessly integrates with employers’ payroll and HR systems, making this powerful employee benefit easily accessible to Australians in need of cash flow. Moreover, Paytime offers in-app financial wellness tools to further enhance financial literacy for its users. Employees are less likely to seek better-paying jobs when they have flexible access to their wages. Companies partnering with Paytime have seen staff turnover rates drop by 20% and are filling jobs faster than their competitors. The demand for EWA solutions is poised for significant growth. By embracing this innovative technology and partnering with reputable providers like Paytime, companies can not only support the financial well-being of their employees but also position themselves for long-term success in an increasingly competitive business landscape. DNI & Digital Ecosystems are incredibly proud to have such an innovative company providing a critical service that drives financial inclusion in Australia in our group. #FinancialInclusion #EWA #EmployeeBenefits #Innovation #FinancialWellbeing

Happy National Youth Day! 🌠National Youth Day represents the empowerment, inclusion and education of the South African youth. Sustainable future forward strategies can be achieved by involving the youth in economic and social processes. 📊The most unemployed South Africans of the labour force consist of the youth as 45,5% are unemployed. Through development and equipping the youth with the necessary tools and support to prosper and adapt, we can accomplish the Quality Education and Decent Work and Economic Growth SDGs and achieve increased strategic growth. 🎓DNI is actively removing barriers to education by creating, hosting and sponsoring graduate programmes and in-house learnerships throughout the Group. The transition from education to job employment is simplified and less youth are vulnerable to remaining unemployed when they are provided with adequate skills, challenge preparation and working experience. 🔬Investing in STEM careers drives capability and knowledge of emerging technologies and conceptualised ideas transform into existing technology. This will change the way that we digitally connect using telecommunication assets. Financial technology will feature improvements in detecting risk, forecasting sales and identifying fraud with machine learning (ML).
