HomeAbout SAMBO

Building ownership. Building lasting prosperity.

South African Multi-Business Owners. A community connected by the belief that people should own a part of the economy they support.

Our purpose

An economy built with its people.

SAMBO is the membership body of the Luthando Maduna Foundation, a registered Public Benefit Organisation. Our mission is economic inclusion, community development and generational wealth.

Through the “Shop Where You Own” model, everyday spending becomes a pathway towards participation in multiple businesses and property. Businesses are mostly incubated inside Stratum Property Group and supported by the wider Stratum ecosystem.

  • Community-focused business and property ownership.
  • Professional management, finance and reporting.
  • People-owned inclusive cities — starting with Alexandra.
