SPENDING time outdoors, away from the city’s hustle and bustle, is what these men enjoy.

Ntatana Kganakga, secretary of Bokamoso Social Club, in Rustenburg, North West,says the city helped change their old ways.

Members of the club come from places where wild animals are in abundance.

This is why, they take their annual getaway – to unwind, relax, reconnect and plan for the future.

“The outdoor experience always gives us time to plan. We also look into the kinds of businesses we could run and the capital we need.”

Ntatana said Bokamoso was formed in 2005.

Each of the 16 members deposits R1 500 or more into the club’s account every month.

They share this money every year in January during their outing.

“All members are expected to save at least R18 000 or more come end of the year.

“If not, you are not going to receive your share of the interest earned.”

Out of the total monthly deposits, R2 000 is transferred into the club’s investment account. It is saved to fund a business venture in the next five years.

They are still working on their business plan, but haven’t stopped saving for it.

They also try and make their monthly meetings as festive as possible by bringing their wives along.

They hold their meetings in and around Mooi Nooi, Tlhabane, Marikana, Pardekraal and Meriting, among other places in North West.
