Commission Structures
Ngizwe Ngawe Affiliate Marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a deliberate project designed to bring tangible cashback rewards to community members. Our commission structures of are designed to maximise potential earnings and to broaden the pool of members who qualify for commission earnings each month. You can think of it more like a shopping cashback stokvel!
Business network that works for people
Participating businesses recognise that their success depends on the continued support of returning customers. Ngizwe Ngawe Affiliate Marketing is a shopping rewards program where members purchase goods and/or services from participating businesses and get rewarded in cashback. This program operates a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) model to distribute the cashback received from businesses to members.
Commission Earnings & Payouts
Your Gross Commission Earnings are calculated as follows:
| Gross Commission Earnings = |
Registration Bonus Commission + Sponsorship Multi Level Commission + Founders Fixed Matrix Commission + Teams Fixed Matrix Commission |
| Minimum Monthly Payout: |
- A minimum payout of R 250.00 per month will be applied. - Earnings less than R 250.00 will be carried over to the following month. |
| Mininum Spending Target: |
- An amount a member must spend on shopping to qualify for shopping cashback commission. - Your Minimum Spending Target is determined monthly and will be shown on your Dashboard. - Only applicable to members who have earned commission in the previous month. - If Minimum Spending Target is not met, only pro-rata shopping cashback commission will be paid to the member. The remainder will be allocated to the Ubuntu Bonus. - Here is an example: Suppose your Minimum Spending Target for the month is R500, but your actual total spending is R300. This means you only spent 60% of the required target. If your total cashback commission is R1000 for the month, then only R600 (60% of R1000) will be paid out to you. The remainder of R400 will be allocated to the Ubuntu Bonus. |
| Payout Service Fees: |
- A payout service fee will be charged depending of the payout amount. |
| Monthly Pay Date: |
- 28th day of the month. - No adhoc payout requests. |
Registration Bonus
A once-off Registration Bonus is paid to members when a new member pays their registration fee of R 300.00.
| Referral Bonus: | R 50.00 | Once-off bonus paid to the Direct Sponsor for each the new paid member. |
| Network Cashback: | 30.00% | Of the registration fee is paid to network members according to all 4 structures below. |
| Earning Limit: | No Limit | There is no monthly earning limit imposed on referral bonuses paid to Direct Sponsors. |
| Why? |
- Bonuses paid on registration fee reward members for building the network by referring new people to register. - Direct sponsors expend their resources to refer new members to this community, therefore there is no limit imposed on their referral bonuses. |
|
Sponsorship Multi Level
This is a Multi Level structure of referral sponsorship downline up to 5 levels down. There is no limit on the number of people that you can have on level 1 (direct downline). This commission is paid monthly to qualifying members based on shopping activity of downline.
Cashback allocated to this plan = Cashback received from a participating businesses divided by 4. For example, if a shopper spends R1000.00 and we get a 3.00% cashback from the participating business, it means we will get R30.00 cashback. Therefore, the amount that will be allocated for distribution in this plan is = R30.00 / 4 = R7.50.
How it is Calculated?
| Level | No. of People | Percentage | Cashback | Sample Earning | Sample Total Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YOU | - | - | - | - | - |
| 1 | 10 | 10.00% | R 7.50 | R 0.75 | R 7.50 |
| 2 | 100 | 15.00% | R 7.50 | R 1.13 | R 112.50 |
| 3 | 1,000 | 20.00% | R 7.50 | R 1.50 | R 1,500.00 |
| 4 | 10,000 | 25.00% | R 7.50 | R 1.88 | R 18,750.00 |
| 5 | 100,000 | 30.00% | R 7.50 | R 2.25 | R 225,000.00 |
| POTENTIAL EARNINGS: | 100.00% | - | R 7.50 | R 245,370.00 | |
|
There is no limit on the number of people you can have in Level 1. Ten (10) people have only been used here as an example only. Information that is written in blue colour on this table is an example only.

Founders Fixed Matrix
The Founder, in this context, is defined as the person who moves early and fast - the early adopter.
The Founders Fixed Matrix structure is 10 places wide and 5 levels deep. The system automatically creates a single matrix structure where all members are placed as they activate their membership accounts when they pay the registration fee. Allocation and ranking in this structure does not follow referral sponsorship.
The purpose of this commission structure is to allow members who join early, who are committed to support the growth of this program, an opportunity to earn rewards. To increase the pool of members who benefit from this structure, the Founders Fixed Matrix rankings will be revised periodically. Veteran members who have benefited from this structure, who are also earning stable commissions from other structures will be systematically rolled out of this structure to pave way for new Founders, new movers, to emerge and earn.
This is a fixed matrix, you can only have 10 people placed in level 1. Therefore, the example shown in the table below demonstrates the absolute maximum number of people that you can have under you in this structure. This commission is paid monthly to qualifying members based on shopping activity of their downline.
Similarly, cashback allocated to this plan = Cashback received from a participating business divided by 4. For example, if a shopper spends R1,000.00 and we get a 3.00% cashback from the participating business, it means we will get R30.00 cashback. Therefore, amount that will be allocated for distribution in this plan is = R30.00 / 4 = R7.50.

Teams Fixed Matrix
Teams are made of referral sponsors and their direct sponsored referral downline.
The Teams Fixed Matrix structure is 10 places wide and 5 levels deep. Allocation and ranking in this structure follows referral sponsorship. A new member will follow their sponsor when placed in this matrix.
The purpose of this commission structure is to reward the effort of individuals and teams who are committed to support the growth of this program. Take note, if your new direct referral downline pays and verifies their account before you, then they will be placed before you in this matrix, and the sponsorship relationship between you will broken permanently in this structure. This only applies to the Teams Fixed Matrix. The Sponsorship Multi Level structure will not be affected - you will remain sponsor.
This is a fixed matrix, you can only have 10 people places in level 1. Therefore, the example shown in the table below demonstrates the absolute maximum number of people that you can have under you in this structure.

Ubuntu Bonus
Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu! Ubuntu Bonus funds are used to top-up earnings of low commission earners.
Where do Ubuntu Bonus Funds Come From?
There are two (2) sources of funds that are allocated to the Ubuntu Bonus.
1. Similar to the above structures, cashback allocated to Ubuntu Bonus funds is = Cashback received from a participating business divided by 4. For example, if a shopper spends R1000.00 and we get a 3.00% cashback from the participating business, it means we will get R30.00 cashback. Therefore, amount that will be allocated for distribution in this plan is = R30.00 / 4 = R7.50.
2. Member commissions for the above structures are calculated seperately. Where the calculated potential earnings exceed the defined Earning Limit, the excess amount will automatically be allocated to Ubuntu Bonus funds.
How is Ubuntu Bonus Paid?
Funds that are available for Ubuntu Bonus will be distributed in following order:
| 1. First, members whose Gross Commission earnings are less than R 500.00 but greater than R 250.00, will receive a top-up from the Ubuntu Bonus funds so that their payout becomes R 500.00. * |
