The main member counts as one of the people. A six-month waiting period and the membership conditions apply to every option.

Counted in months paid, not months on the calendar. A missed month pauses the count. It does not reset it.
The waiting period protects the members who are already paying.
Without it, someone could join in the week they need to claim. A support fund that allows this cannot pay the families who have been contributing for years. It runs out.
It applies to every member equally, including the people who started Nyoni. We would rather tell you this on the first page than in the fine print.
Real people, in a real town.
Nyoni is run by Austin Pona, manager, from Phalaborwa in Limpopo. When you call the number on this page, that is who answers.
We serve Limpopo. All of it. We do not claim to cover the country, because we do not.

What that registration does and does not mean. It means the company legally exists and can be looked up. It does not mean anyone has approved, guaranteed or insured what Nyoni provides. We would rather tell you that now than let you assume otherwise, and we are working on the next step openly.

What happens if I miss payments?
A missed month pauses your six-month count — it does not reset it, and your progress is never lost. Three months without payment and the membership lapses, but pay again and it is active again. Nyoni is not a lender: if you stop paying, you owe Nyoni nothing.
How do I submit a claim?
Contact Nyoni for the current claim process. Claims are subject to Department of Home Affairs verification.
When are benefits delivered?
Qualifying benefits are provided within two days after verification.
Why is there a six-month waiting period?
It protects members who are already paying. Without it, someone could join in the week they need to claim, and the fund could not support families who have contributed for years. It applies to everyone equally.
Are add-ons included in the basic price?
No. On the Go and Food Support are separate options at R70 per month each.
