SA Rewards programs



I was shopping for groceries this afternoon. I went to Spar to but for flavored water; I needed to stock up for my preferred drink. Got to the this till and the lady asked me if I had a Spar rewards card – in south Africa this is a card supermarkets use to incentivize customers for sopping on their shop – my response way -  nope **smiling**.  

I don’t have any supermarket rewards card because to me this is like an old way of collecting coupons. You buy for Rand’s and you get points to spend on your next purchase. This is the same as a R0.50c off coupon; the catch though is you have to spend more than R100 to get around R0.50c. Don’t get me wrong, I commend the this product; they ensure consumers keep on coming back to their shop to spend money for the consumer to accumulate more points so they can buy something of value tomorrow.

Earlier this week I signed up for ABSA rewards, where they promise rand value points for my purchases (card swipes). So it’s my first week on this thing and want to see how much money I would have accumulated by end of July 2015. I will pay R19 for subscribing to this reward system. What interested me was a promised of up to 5% rand value back on my card purchases at Sasol - I just want to see how much I’ll get back this month.

Anyway, I don’t see any value in these consumer reward systems. You can have a different opinion on this, that ok. I just don’t see how this will help me, on the other and these companies are making more whenever I buy from them with a hope of getting points back.


This brings me to the question that came up just before I got to write this post. Why would people prefer to spend R1000 and get something like 10 points back?

Big question my friend…. It doesn’t make any sense – right? To me for sure, it doesn’t

We’re so conditioned to believe that network marketing is a rip off but we fail to see that this is a 21st century business that can help us to make a nice life living.

Join the movement, let’s change our lives from today

What if . . . .



What if I tell you that working for a pay check will not make you rich… This business can..

Four years ago, I met Vusi and he introduced me to IFA a network marketing company. He sold me an idea of starting from making R12 to more than R60K in less than 12 months. Yes less than a year.

I was not sold at first, considering that I was already employed for 5 years and I was still earning less than R15k a month. This new idea was foreign to me, couldn’t believe it. But when he showed me his earnings of R60K, I was sold and signed up.

I worked on the business slowly and was making a good R2000 a moth but did not take care of the business and fell apart. Just like any business that one deserts, it couldn’t grow. ****I regret this****

This business has the potential to elevate the poor to riches. We have high unemployment rate in our country and this business can generate income for thousands of people who are willing to change the way they have been conditioned to think about money and the way to make it.

Here is my proposition - If you have a R100 a month – this business will work for you. Even if you have nothing but you can borrow a R100 from a relative or a friend, this business can work for you. You can start this business without having a lot of capital. Contact me and I’ll show you how we can take advantage of this business.

I have met a lot of people that don’t want to get involved in network marketing because they believe they are making someone richer that they are. What I have found in life to be true is that we make other people rich at all times. Whenever money leaves my pocket, someone is getting rich. Then why not get rich while making other people rich? I found network marketing to have the best compensation plan in the world, in our case IFA have the best plan for everyone.


Another thought, why not buy something that will give you money back?

I can only work with 10 candidates a month, ensure you’re part of the 10!


Today I spent the evening with a buddy of mine from my child hood. We discussed many issues regarding currently financial level. We both have been working for 9 years now; he just got a new job and he is making a comfortable gross salary of R50K per month. On the other hand I’m making half of his salary per month.

We both have financial challenges, we’re not where we wanted to be at this time in our lives. The question we have is how do the rich make money?

I don’t have any one in my circle that is rich, so no one can really teach me the basics. So I went to the internet and got the few basics. Now, this is my first article towards my financial freedom road. My target is financial freedom in 5 years. Yes, 5 years. It may sound like a long term but the truth is I have a lot to learn so this is pretty short J

Now let’s start about what I’ll do….

I’ll revive my network marketing business..


Living a dream



You know sometimes I lough at myself.. **like today**

Today I went for a house viewing with my wife, just to get the feel of what properties cost out there. We viewed a nice 3 bedroom house with open plan lounge, kitchen and living room. It also has a study on the first floor and then an open entertainment area with nice view.

I loved this house and was doing calculations to see if I qualify for finance application to cover a bond for R2.5m. I lough at myself because I know I cannot afford but I went through the emotions of wanting to live in this house and going the mile to wanting to make an application. Yep, although I survive by using over draft facility on my current account.

I have taken one thing out of what I went through today – I want to live in that house.

I have made this my goal and I know I’ll live this dream in due cause. All the work I’m putting in on the IFA business will enable me to afford payments for that house. You can also join me to work on this business and ensure that you live your dream life to.

I have spent time looking for ways of making quick money and realized It’s not possible. I have seen articles about businesses that make you money while you sleep; for me this never worked. I have spent money in the past building an online business website on how to make money and marketed this website on the net but never made a cent. So decided to put my energy on the business that I know will make me money and set me to the path of financial freedom.

I made money with IFA business, I know their formula works and I just need to stick to it. The more people that join me to this business the more people will be financial free.

Contact me [info on contact page], and I’ll share more information and we’ll together change our financial solution.
