Proposed Social Bond

Luthando Maduna Foundation Social Bond.

A proposed social bond programme, presented in partnership with the Luthando Maduna Foundation NPC. Read the draft framework online, see who it is designed for, and call a financial adviser to register your interest.

This bond is proposed. It has not been issued, approved or listed.

The framework is a draft and remains subject to regulatory, legal, investment and listing approvals. The R500 billion figure is a proposed programme size, not money raised. Nothing on this page is an offer to sell securities or financial advice. Returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.

What it is about

Capital for communities, with communities.

The proposed Luthando Maduna Foundation Social Bond Programme is a multi-tranche listed social bond, with a proposed programme size of up to R500 billion over time. It is intended to bring institutional, corporate, development-finance and qualifying private investors together to fund measurable social and economic infrastructure.

Its core idea is simple: communities should not only use the infrastructure around them, but, through properly structured investment vehicles, share in the value it creates.

What we aim to achieve

  • Affordable and inclusive housing and property development
  • Jobs and local enterprise development
  • Schools, healthcare, sports and public spaces
  • Digital financial inclusion through the Wealth Rotation System
  • Measurable social impact, independently reviewed and reported at least once a year

Who it is designed for

Four groups of people.

The draft is written for the investors who fund infrastructure and the communities who live beside it. Both are meant to take part.

Institutional investors

Pension funds, asset managers, insurers, banks, development-finance institutions and impact investors.

Corporate investors

Companies investing directly, or taking part through strategic allocations, impact programmes, supplier finance or sponsorship.

Communities and residents

People living in the communities the programme is meant to serve, taking part through approved community savings, ownership and investment structures. Participation is voluntary. A monthly contribution is proposed at a minimum of R250, subject to final design. No one is asked to invest social grants.

Individual investors

Individual investors may be able to take part where securities laws and the final listing structure allow. Your adviser will confirm what is available to you.

Participation depends on the final legal structure, applicable law and approvals. Nothing here is an offer to sell securities.

How to register your interest

Three simple steps.

01

Read the draft

Read the draft framework online below, or download the full document.

02

Call a financial adviser

Call our call centre and we will connect you to a financial adviser to register your interest. Registering interest is not an investment in the bond.

03

Money goes into an income fund

Any money you choose to invest is placed into a regulated income fund. It is not invested in the bond, because the bond has not been issued. If the bond is approved and issued, your adviser will contact you with the official documents and you decide then whether to take part.

Ready to speak to someone?

Call a financial adviser.

One call is enough. Tell us you are interested in the proposed Social Bond and we will connect you to a financial adviser who will explain the draft, what registering interest means, and which regulated income fund applies to you.

Call Centre: 0800 000 000, toll-free, Monday – Friday 08:00 – 17:00 SAST. Before investing in any income fund, read its Minimum Disclosure Document. Your adviser will confirm which income fund applies. See our Funds page.

Benefits for Alexandra

The New City of Alexandra comes first.

The proposed New City of Alexandra, next to Sandton, is the intended flagship of the programme. The concept may include homes, commercial districts, schools, healthcare, sport, transport, digital infrastructure, enterprise zones, public spaces and renewable energy.

For residents, the aim is better places to live and work, local jobs and businesses, and a route to take part in the value of the city as investors, not only as consumers.

100 Inclusive African Cities

Working with governments across Africa.

Alexandra is the first step in a wider vision of 100 Inclusive African Cities. A dedicated tranche, the proposed African Cities Infrastructure Bonds, is intended to fund qualifying projects in South Africa, the SADC region and the rest of the continent.

We intend to work with national, provincial and local governments, development-finance institutions and partners in each country, subject to each jurisdiction's laws and approvals.

The Foundation's role

Sharing in profits, giving back to the public.

Social programme sponsor

The Luthando Maduna Foundation NPC is the proposed social programme sponsor, and the authority that sets the programme's social purpose.

A share of profits

The draft proposes that up to 5% of defined net programme profits go to a Social Impact Pool, which the Foundation receives as a dividend donation.

Public benefit activities

The Foundation uses these donations for approved public benefit activities, starting with housing and ending poor informal settlement conditions in the communities we serve.

Profit sharing and donations depend on the final legal, accounting and tax structure, and on the programme actually making profits. They are not guaranteed.
