A member must at all times pay a membership contribution each month to KBFT. Failure to do so may impact eligibility for benefits.
With effect 1 April 2024, the monthly membership contribution is R120 per member of KBFT.
The full membership contribution is payable every Month. If you cannot afford the full membership contribution, or only want some and not all of the benefits of membership to KBFT, then membership to the Trust is not suitable for you. This is so since membership to KBFT entitles you to the full package of Basic Benefits which cannot be separated, or selectively paid for.
From the membership contributions KBFT makes the following payments:
- Premium to Sanlam for the Pukwana ya Kganya insurance contract: R68.28
- Services Fee to KIA: R22.45
- Donation to ZCC: R13.75
- Retained by the Trust: R14.52
- Retained by Church Branch: R1.00
TOTAL: R120.00
In terms of the trust deed of KBFT, KBFT may review and amend the membership contributions. Every effort is made by the Trust to only increase the Membership Contributions every 2 years, which increase (if any) takes place with effect from 1 April.
ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS
Later in 2024, you will be able to pay your Pukwana ya Kganya contribution via an electronic payment solution called ZCM. ZCM is an online payment facility that allows you to electronically register and then to make easy monthly payments towards your Pukwana ya Kganya policy, directly from your bank account. ZCM is safe to use, and rest assured that payments made via ZCM will reach Kganya within 5 business days. ZCM will also enable you to keep adequate record of all your payments made. Know that ZCM was developed for the ZCC members by the ZCC and ZetNet, and already has many other beneficial options available.
Should you have any queries on this, you are welcome to speak to your Church Committee or you may contact the Kganya Call Center on 0800 000 538.
