Stokvels are worth R44 billion


S. African savings clubs brace for bad times
The value of the stokvel market would create a bigger sector in  South Africa than the agriculture or electricity sectors,” said Mamapudi Nkgadima, managing director of African Response, in a statement.
A nationwide survey by research company African Response found there are 11.4 million stokvel members in South Africa.
“To put this in perspective, the population of a city made up of  all the stokvel members would be larger than any of our major metros, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban,” said Nkgadima.
