South African shop owners standing together in front of a neighbourhood shopping centre with apartments above
HomeWhat you can own

Your companies. Your purchases. Your share.

As a SAMBO member, you are joining a community that aims to own and benefit from the businesses providing the products and services you use every day.

Shop where you own

From everyday spending to a portfolio.

How membership works

Through the proposed Swipe-to-Own programme, qualifying purchases and your monthly investment contributions can help build an investment portfolio across the companies below. Our goal is for 90% of eligible distributable business profits to benefit SAMBO member investment interests, with the remaining 10% allocated according to the approved group structure.

The 90% member profit allocation is a proposed policy, not a guaranteed return. Most companies in the ecosystem are still in development and are marked “Coming soon” until they are established and trading.

Our commitment to members

A long-term portfolio in the making.

SAMBO’s proposed long-term objective is to channel eligible profits and member investments into a portfolio supporting 100,000 Mini Complexes, 20,000 Mixed Use developments, 2,000 Sports Cities and 100 Inclusive African Cities.

These companies and developments represent the proposed ecosystem; they are not all necessarily operational, member-owned or generating distributable profits today. Participation rights, investment allocations and distributions will depend on each company’s establishment, approved offering terms, financial performance and applicable regulatory requirements.
