SAMBO

South African Multi Business Owners

SAMBO is a platform designed to get any South African who can get a bank account to also own multiple businesses. If you can bank, you can own.

Stratum member business owners outside a mixed-use development

Run by professionals

Your businesses, managed by experts

The platform is designed and operated by chartered accountants, attorneys, doctors and property practitioners — together with engineers and other professionals from all kinds of backgrounds. They manage the various businesses owned by the members, so ownership never demands your day job.

The essence is simple: to get to a state where 100% of the member's salary goes to the businesses they own — so every rand you earn works twice: once when you spend it, and again when the profits come back.

Chartered Accountants

Manage the books, reporting and profit-share allocations of every member-owned business.

Attorneys

Structure ownership, contracts and compliance so members' stakes are legally protected.

Doctors

Guide health-linked ventures and wellness programmes across the member network.

Engineers & Property Practitioners

Run developments, land conversion and operations across the businesses members own.

SAMBO JSE Club

Bread and eggs today. JSE dividends tomorrow.

All members are automatic SAMBO JSE Club members. Every time you spend money where you own — even something as basic as groceries, bread and eggs — you automatically earn shares on the JSE. It is linked to your membership ID, so it happens without you lifting a finger.

  • Every member is an automatic SAMBO JSE Club member — no extra sign-up
  • Each spend where you own earns you shares on the JSE, automatically
  • Everything is linked to your membership ID — in the app and at the till

The goal

From salary to 100% ownership spending

You earn

Your salary lands in your Stratum account on partner bank rails.

You spend where you own

Groceries, airtime, rent, fuel — allocated to the ventures you co-own, in-app or in-store.

You earn again

90% of profits come back to members, and every spend adds JSE shares through the SAMBO JSE Club.

African Multi-Business Owners

We call our members African Multi-Business Owners.

On this platform, users are not "customers". They are African Multi-Business Owners — people who hold stakes in several trading ventures at once and direct their everyday spending into them.

Luthando Maduna CA(SA) believes this ownership movement can carry his life mission: building a New City of Alexandra, funded by the momentum of educating people about shop where you own. Every member who understands ownership adds to that momentum.

Pooled member profit funds developments — the first steps toward a New City of Alexandra.

Bank Secured

Partner bank rails and custody keep every rand safe and regulated.

You Own

Real, registered ownership in income-generating businesses.
