The investment structure maintained and functioned by Sphelele ‘Sgumza’ Mbatha is pledging to return a hundred percent (100%) in 15 working days.

Primarily, the lowest permitted investment amount was hundred Rand (100R) i.e. nearly seven dollars ($6.74). Though, it has popularized to the extent that amounts less than five thousand Rand ($337) are not recognized.
