Ever heard of the saying, ‘the harder I work, the luckier I get’? This saying is a reality at IFA and more so at the annual IFA Mass Rally as this is

where hardworking IFAs get really lucky. As a testament to this, at the recently held 2013 IFA Mass Rally, IFA gave away, not one, not two, not three, but four brand new black IFA branded cars to lucky and hardworking IFAs, in full view of a packed audience on 23 February at the Ellis Park Arena, Johannesburg. The winners from different categories of the Gijima Lucky Draw competition drove away in style on the day.

A VW Polo Vivo went to Thobeka Tembiso, a G100 winner

from the Eastern Cape; while the G200 winner, Modumo

Mahlase from Gauteng drove away with an Audi A1;

Ntombenhle Myeni, G400 winner from KwaZulu-Natal,

could not believe her luck as she got into a BMW 1 Series,

and the winner of the BMW 3 Series was, G800 winner also

from KwaZulu-Natal, Thula Mafoko. As if the cars were not

enough, another three hardworking IFAs walked away with

guaranteed cheques totalling R340 000. The highest amount

of R150 000 went to Delani Maishi from KwaZulu-Natal,

while Monde Qotywa from Gauteng received a whopping

R110 000, and the final cheque, of R80 000, went to Thula

Mafoko from KwaZulu-Natal. All these prizes are not only

proof that the harder one works at IFA, the luckier one gets,

they also confirm that it pays to work the IFA business.

“We are very excited because this year’s IFA Mass Rally once

again provided a great platform for outstanding IFAs to be

recognised and walk away with life changing prizes. While

we gave away cars and lots of cash this year, last year we

gave away a house worth a R1 million, among other great

prizes,” says Mthunzi Mbali, IFA Marketing Director.

Over and above the big prizes given away, throughout the

event cameras rolled as top-performing IFAs took turns on

the stage to receive well-deserved awards and prizes. The

Grammy award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir accompanied

by South Africa’s Got Talent 2012 winner, Botlhale Boikanyo

took centre stage and did not disappoint – as they kept the

audience’s spirits lifted with their amazing voices. While IFA

Brand Ambassadors Desmond Dube and Lillian Dube kept

the audience in stitches, Nimrod ‘Mr Lotto’ Nkosi as the

prize-master for the day kept the audience in suspense as

he artfully revealed who the lucky draw winners were. The

cameo appearance by Generations characters ‘Choppa’ and

‘Mam Patricia’ during the Rally, was the cherry on top at

an already star-studded event. Screams of excitement and

disbelief spread across the audience as the two characters

came to life, making the IFA story on Generations a reality

for many fans and followers of South Africa’s leading soapie.

New initiatives and bonuses were also launched. Among the

launches was the new competition: MEGAbucks. As its

name suggests, it is about more money and more chances

for IFAs to win. Therefore IFAs need to prepare to get their

share, by qualifying for the Khula Bonus, in this cash-filled

competition.

“The IFA Business Opportunity has, over the years, grown

in stature and size as more and more people take up this

unique opportunity to change their lives for the better. As a

result the annual IFA Mass Rally keeps attracting thousands of

IFAs and prospective IFAs from across the country to witness

much-deserved recognition of the top performing IFAs. We

trust that the initiatives, bonuses and competition launched

at this year’s Mass Rally will further assist IFAs in growing their

businesses and changing their lives, as well as those of other

people around them,” says Basil Reekie, Clientèle Limited

Managing Director-Designate. By Mpume Nyandu

Greece is the home of the modern Olympics, the marathon and some of the

world’s greatest philosophers, making it a country rich in culture that is beyond

compare. Greece’s undeniably beautiful coastline is the destination for the 2013

IFA Incentive conference. Incentive qualifiers will set sail on board the “splendour of

the seas” for a five-day cruise, stopping at three Greek islands (split, croatia; kusadasi

(Ephesus), Turkey; Mykonos, Greece) - discovering among other things, this magical part

of Greece. The islands are sure to charm with their sun-baked beaches, crystal clear water,

tasty traditional taverna cuisine and colourful handmade jewellery and crafts. Here is

what some of the first time Incentive conference qualifiers had to say about being chosen:

“Are you serious? I’m going to

Greece? Not long ago I could

hardly picture myself going to

Johannesburg for the 2013 IFA Mass Rally

never mind jetting across abroad. To say that I

am excited about joining the top brass of the

IFA Network at the 2013 Incentive Conference,

well, is pretty much an understatement. What’s

more is that this will be my first time overseas.

Let’s take a step back here. In March 2009

I was working as a manager at a company

based in KwaZulu-Natal. There was only one

problem – I was always broke by the 25th of

every month. In all honesty, I couldn’t afford

my lifestyle. After all, I am a mother of three

beautiful children living in Pietermaritzburg.

Luckily at the time Patrick Dlamini brought

me to an IFA Presentation. I only had modest

expectations; to just have a little extra petrol

money would have been enough for me.

Within a month I had already banked my first

earnings. Three months later I climbed to Club 100.

From that point there was only one way and

that was up. I continued working in my spare

time – identifying quality people and inviting

people to presentations and then helping

those people that joined the IFA Business

Opportunity to earn. It paid off. In the middle

of last year, June 2012, having reached Club

1000, I decided to resign from my former job

and concentrate on IFA.

To me the one thing that holds IFA together is

respect. You need to treat people the way that

you would like to be treated. I always look to

myself first before I try to give direction to

others. With regards to my downline, I first

and foremost try to lead by example. When

somebody new joins my team I am very

conscious of the fact that if I don’t assist

and guide them, they are very likely to fall by

the wayside. I do my very best to empower

them with the skills they need to grow

their businesses so they too can eventually

empower others.

I have big plans for 2013. I aim to increase my

club status by June 2013 and achieve a good

lead in the new MEGABUCKS Competition.

One day I’d like to earn my place in the IFA

Champions Forum. In the meantime, I will

keep working hard and do what I love best –

changing lives.” Compiled by Christopher Bompas

“I’m a Constable in the SAPS and I was

always struggling for money. When I

joined IFA, I was on probation and not

permanently employed in the SAPS. So I was

always worried about money. When I joined

IFA in February 2012, I saw this business as

a way of making extra income. I didn’t know

that I would grow so much that within twelve

months of joining I’d be one of the Top Fast

Starters in the Eastern Cape.

A week before the IFA Mass Rally, I got a call

from a lady at the IFA head office who told me

that I would be boarding a flight to Gauteng

to attend the rally. I had to put the call on loud

speaker so that my colleagues could hear her

tell me my flight details and where I would be

staying. My colleagues didn’t believe me when

I told them about IFA, but now, after that call

as well as being called on stage as one of the

people who will be going on the Greek Isle

Cruise (2013 IFA Incentive Conference), they

also want to join the business.

It will be my first time overseas and I’m looking

forward to everything. Just stepping my foot

on new land is going to be an experience in

itself. I’m looking forward to mingling with

other top IFAs and getting to learn the secrets

to their growth in this business.

IFA has done a lot for me. I’m now happily

paying my car instalments and I can afford

petrol. I always have something in the bank

and I’m also able to save. I don’t stress as much

as I used to about money because I know that

my hard work within IFA makes sure that I

always have money to support myself.

I believe that in order to be successful in the IFA

Business Opportunity, we all need to support

each other and help our downlines grow.

Attending IFA Presentations is important and

I know that if you believe in yourself you can

go very far in this business.

IFA maintains my lifestyle and has changed my

life for the better. Everybody goes to the ATM

but not everybody has money to withdraw.

IFA gives me the confidence to go to the

bank and leave smiling. I’m always pleasantly

surprised with everything that has to do with

IFA.” Compiled by Lerato Ramango

“This is the best of three for sure. Since

joining the IFA Business Opportunity I

promised myself that my partner and

I are going to an IFA Incentive Conference

every year. And guess what? We’ve done

it again and I am still excited as ever. After

the 2013 IFA Mass Rally there is still a lot of

adrenaline pumping through my blood. This

year holds a lot of promise, especially with

the new opportunities to earn with the new

MEGABUCKS Competition.

In October 2010 I thought that I had hit the end

of the road, as I had recently lost my job. I was

desperate for a new way to make ends meet.

Ironically, the timing worked in my favour as

David Kokong was doing IFA Presentations

through my hometown, Vredenburg. It was

Vernon Vraagon who persuaded me to listen

to what he had to say. And I did. Although

I was initially sceptical, the basic principles of

the IFA Business Opportunity made a lot of

sense to me. By the end of December 2010, I

received a much welcomed R8 000. It wasn’t

long before I doubled that.

Why do I wake up in the morning and work

the IFA Business Opportunity. I have three

children aged 14, 10 and 3. I am very proud of

them and want to ensure that they enjoy the

best future possible. That is why I continually

tell people about IFA, what it has done in my

life and what it could do for others if they

would only listen.

Hard work, dedication and energy remain

critical to achieving my dreams. I am also not

one to leave others behind. I invest in my

downlines, especially those who are new, by

teaching them how to become earners.

Now I have to confess that I’d like to teach

KZN IFAs a thing or two. I’d like to show them

that I too can be a major award winner. Watch

this space.” Compiled by Christopher Bompas

“I started working at a very young

age in order to support myself. In 2011

I worked at a Spa but my salary was

not great. If I arrive late for work, I would get

money deducted at the end of the month

from my salary for the accumulated time that

I was late. I had to work double shifts in order

for me to earn a decent salary.

When I joined IFA in May 2011, I didn’t

really take the business seriously and only

really started working hard and achieving

recognition in November 2011. From then on

I was hooked on succeeding and I fired my

boss to concentrate of IFA full-time.

I’m proud of my achievements. Receiving

the Bronze medal at the IFA Mass Rally for

the Sustainable Business Award made me

realise that I’m doing the right things for my

business. I didn’t even hear when my name

was called on stage as a qualifier for the 2013

IFA Incentive Conference. I was told by my

fiancé who was sitting next to me and I was

overjoyed as I headed to the stage.

It was my first time on a plane coming to

Johannesburg for the IFA Mass Rally and it’s

going to be an even greater experience being

on a plane heading overseas. I’m looking

forward to experiencing everything especially

the food, the sun, the fun and being in a

completely different environment.

There are three things I live by when

approaching prospects: confidence, respect

and belief. The people I approach must be

willing to change the way they are currently

living. I don’t have to explain anything to them

because we have professional accredited IFA

Presenters to do that, I just tell them to attend

an IFA Presentation to see how IFA can really

change their lives. There is no looking back

because life is good.” Compiled by Lerato Ramango

It was a case of go big or go home, as for the first time in the history of IFA, four brand-new cars were up for grabs

at the IFA Mass Rally. After a long year of sweating blood and working hard, IFA rewarded those who ‘gijimered’ an exceptional race. As per tradition, IFAs have gotten used to winning big at these events and the 2013 edition didn’t disappoint.

IFAs who ran an extraordinary race and

qualified for G100 – G800 in 2012 all

stood a chance of driving away in style at

the 2013 IFA Mass Rally. The cars BMW 3

Series, BMW 1 Series, Audi A1 and VW Polo

Vivo were won by Thula Mafoko (KwaZulu-

Natal), Ntombenhle Myeni (KwaZulu-Natal),

Modumo Mahlase (Gauteng) and Thobeka

Tembiso (Eastern Cape) respectively.

Thobeka Tembiso

“Disbelief, excitement and shock are all

the emotions that were going through

me as I was walking towards the stage

after being announced as the Polo Vivo winner

in the G100 lucky draw. At first I couldn’t

even move, I heard Nimrod call my name but

I felt weak, shaking even. My Presenter had

to fetch me from my seat. On stage, I went

straight to the car without collecting the car

keys. I honestly didn’t expect to win.

I’m from a rural area close to Bisho in the

Eastern Cape and I always encourage my

neighbours to join IFA. I have been telling

them that one day they will see what IFA will

do for me. When they saw my brand new

spanking car, they said ‘you told us so’. And

I tell them it’s only the beginning. Even now,

my neighbours are flooding to my house to

check out my car. I was the only one in my

family without a car. As a result I didn’t even

have a driver’s license, not even a learner’s

license. I’ve only just booked for my learner’s

license now.

Winning the car was so ironic because the

first time I got introduced to IFA I was hitch-

hiking and the person who gave me a lift was

an IFA – Mrs Mgole, who subsequently invited

me to an IFA Presentation. The following

Tuesday I was the first person to show up

at the presentation because I wanted to

improve my life financially. That day, I bought

six application forms. I took out one policy

for myself even though I didn’t know how

I would pay for the policy cause at the time

the only income I got was a social grant for

my daughter. In one month I had 21 people

and thus the policy paid itself. All I wanted

was R2 000 a month from IFA, little did I

know that my earnings would far exceed my

expectations. And that I would go from hitch

hiking to winning a car. My next goal is to go

to Dubai next year. I missed the Greek Isles by

a few points this year.

I would like to urge people not to be doubting

Thomas who believed only by seeing. Why

not try this business first then see the results.”

“I am a teacher by profession, and

a lot of people think teachers live a

comfortable life. A point I entirely

disagree with. The only time I started enjoying

a comfortable life was when I joined IFA. I can’t

begin to describe how my life has transformed

in less than a year of joining this life changing

business.

My life as a teacher was filled with financial

worries. Then I met Delani Maishi who invited

me to an IFA Presentation. I was skeptical at

first because I thought all he wants to do is

to sell me a policy of some sort. I decided to

go to the presentation just to give in to his

persistence; little did I know that was a life

changing decision. I left the presentation filled

with a lot of desire and zest to change my life.

Four months later, I was earning just a little

over R10 000. I took all of that money and

paid for my son’s tuitions fees at Mangosuthu

Technickon. As if that was not enough, I

bought myself a Toyota Hilux Double Cab. My

teacher colleagues thought I won the lotto…

but I quickly dispelled that and told them IFA

was my lottery.

Winning the BMW 1 Series at the 2013 IFA

Mass Rally was just the icing on the cake. I

was overjoyed when my name was called on

stage, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It was just surreal! I came to the Mass Rally by

bus, and drove back to KZN in my new set of

wheels. What more can I ask for from IFA?”

“When my name was announced as

the BMW 3 Series winner, I could not

believe my luck. In fact, to this day, I’m

still pinching myself because it all still feels

like a dream. The feeling of winning the car

was like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my

life. This had less to do with merely winning

a BMW but more with the fact that my hard

work was paying off. I thought of all those

years I had invested in making my business

work and now I was realising the fruits of my

hard labour.

I joined IFA in 2001 - the best decision of my

life. Growing up I always dreamt of becoming

successful and when I went into teaching, I

constantly felt like something was missing

and that I could do so much more with my

life. Simply being an ordinary teacher, earning

an ordinary salary wasn’t enough for me. My

first earnings came two months after joining

the business. I got R805 and that motivated

me to focus even more attention on the

business. A year after becoming an IFA, I

decided to quit my job as a teacher to focus

on my IFA business full-time. It was a relatively

easy decision to make, as I was earning more

through IFA, than I was as a teacher.

Because of IFA, my life has changed in ways

that I could have never imagined even in my

wildest dreams. The BMW 3 Series I’ve just

won will be the fourth car in the fleet I was

able to acquire because of the IFA Business

Opportunity. I am looking forward to reaching

even greater levels of success.”

“This is my 10th year as an IFA and I

could not have scripted it better myself

having had the good fortune of driving

away with a brand new Audi A1 as the winner

in the G200 lucky draw. Most of what I have

achieved in life hasn’t been by luck; only

hard work and determination. In 2003 I was

a merchandiser scraping together a meagre

living of R2 000 a month. Life was tough; I was

staying in an informal settlement, Daveyton,

Mpumalanga, with several members of my

family to support. I couldn’t even get a bank

loan as I had relied on loan sharks.

My life started again when a friend of mine

invited me to an IFA Presentation by Eva

Mokhosi. I thought if I could earn just enough

money to buy a train ticket it would be worth

it. By March 2003 I received my first earnings.

Within three years, I had reached Club 750

taking home R18 000 on a sideline income,

because I was only doing the IFA business

part-time at the time. It exceeded my wildest

dreams, especially since I had worked for 13

years as a merchandiser. I had made so much

progress in such a short time that there was

only one thing left – to become a full time IFA

so that I could grow my business even further.

My new Audi A1 is a handsome addition to

my collection of cars and properties that I have

managed to acquire through the IFA Business

Opportunity.

Each day I apply my motto: A day without a

deal is a day wasted. And I can tell you that

I have come back from the 2013 IFA Mass

Rally more energised than ever. Three weeks

after this year’s Mass Rally, I introduced

another 10 people to the IFA Business

Opportunity qualifying me for IFA’s next

exciting competition, MEGABUCKS. The

new car is a great motivator to show people

that IFA works. Essentially, as an IFA you are

given a blank cheque – your effort determines

exactly what you make. At IFA, there are no

upfront fees, you don’t need a degree or a

diploma and you aren’t dealing with heavy

merchandise – only Clientèle’s great financial

products.

My formula for success isn’t mysterious; it

is IMF – Invite, Meet and Follow-Up. When

I invite someone to join the IFA Business

Opportunity my objective is to ensure that

they start earning as fast as possible. I make a

habit of sitting down with my downlines and

strategising how they can achieve their goals.

There is no home like IFA. I have a wonderful

opportunity to change the lives of other

people and in the process I am securing a

future for myself and my family. Even if I die

tomorrow I can rest assured that the future of

my family is secured through the IFA Earnings

Guarantee Benefit. I am also proud that I

recently qualified for IFA’s share appreciation

scheme, Khula Nathi. So as IFA grows, I will

grow and that indeed is an exciting thought.”

Delani Maishi - KwaZulu-NatalR150 000 winner“When you work hard, you always get what is due to you. Without

any shadow of a doubt, winning this was no accident. It was as a result

of the hard work I put in in the last competition period. In both the

Founders and Builders Competitions, I have always was been in the Top 3

of this category. So when the Gijima Competition started, I upped the

ante and increased my work rate. The results are there for all to see.

Not to sound arrogant, but I was not surprised when my name was

called on stage. It was more of an expected victory. In the same breath,

I have to say that the competition was stiff. Especially because the

Fast and Furious category is open for all IFAs to compete. for. But the

toughest competition came from my KZN IFA family. They pushed me to

the finishing line because I knew if I faltered, one of them was going to

sneak their nose in and cross the finish line before me.

I’m here to beat my own records; hence I have already started working

hard for the MEGAbucks Competition. A lot of money is there to be

won, and the intention is clear, grab it and run off to the bank. I’m not

going to do it alone, my downlines and the KZN family share the same

vision and intent. See you at the podium at the 2014 IFA Mass Rally”

Compiled by Elliot Ngubeni

Monde Qotywa - GautengR110 000 winner“I grew up in the rural areas of the old Transkei, walking long distances

to school and coming back to my home duty as a herd boy. My mom

never worked and my father was a truck driver and due to my family’s

background I was always driven to succeed at whatever I do. After high

school I completed an Honours degree in Accounting at the Walter Sisulu

University (then University of Transkei). I then worked as an Accountant

for about five years until 2007, when a friend introduced me to the

IFA Business Opportunity. In November of the same year, I joined the

business and have been doing it part-time ever since.

The IFA opportunity came at the right time and I immediately sank my

teeth into it and worked hard to establish myself. When I received my

first earnings, R314, on 20 December 2007, I took it as a sign that the

IFA Business Opportunity really works. In my eyes there was no better

proof that if I could continue doing what I had done in the first month,

I could actually determine my own salary. It also said to me I could get

more and grow the business and it all depended on the level of energy

and commitment I put in.

The business has had an amazing impact on the quality of my life. Largely

owing to the IFA, I’ve been able to travel to many different places around

the world but most importantly my family enjoys a financially stable and

secure life. I have to say however that the IFA Business Opportunity,

just like any other business requires a lot of perseverance. It’s not a

quick-fix kind of business and it is a lot more about the journey than the

destination.

For me, 2012 was a race well-run. I was actually looking forward to

making the top five in The Fast and The Furious competition. Ideally,

you want to be number one but getting second position was a great

achievement for me and besides, R110 000 is not an amount of money

to scoff at. I think I’ll invest some of the money into my business, pay

some towards my bond and maybe spoil myself a little with whatever

change is left.

There isn’t one thing I can say I did that made me excel and stand in

line to win one of the big Fast and Furious prizes. I applied the same

principles that I have always applied in my business approach, which are

underlined by hard work and a genuine hunger to succeed. Despite all

the challenges that I encountered in the journey, I didn’t take my eyes

off the ball and kept my focus and fortunately it paid off. I’m looking

forward to working even harder in 2013 and improve from where I was

in 2012. I always compete with myself to ensure I progress even further

in my business.” Compiled by Lebogang ba ga Lathane

Thula Mafoko - KwaZulu-NatalR80 000 winnerWhen I was introduced to the IFA Business Opportunity back in 2001,

I figured I had nothing to lose and I needed something that could

supplement my meagre teacher’s salary. What happened after that

I reckon is the stuff Hollywood scripts are made of. I never imagined

achieving even half the things I’ve achieved.

To be honest being called up as one of the top three performers in

the Gijima Competition at the 2013 IFA Mass Rally didn’t come as a

complete shock. I was expecting some form of reward because I knew

how hard I had worked during 2012. My motto in business is ‘always

try to beat your best’ and since I had performed well in 2011, I pushed

myself even more in 2012. Actually I was aiming for the top prize of

R150 000 but I guess as the saying goes, “If you aim for the moon and

miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Still, winning the 3rd prize of R80 000

was very gratifying.

I got bitten by the success bug all those years ago and now I don’t even

want to think about anything less than being among the best. I think

that is what is important to make it in this business - the refusal to accept

failure, which underlines my success as an IFA. I have consciously chosen

to delete the word failure from my vocabulary.

In my view, the IFA Business Opportunity works best for people who

want to write their own pay cheques and define their own destiny.

Through dedication and hard work there is no limit to the things one

can achieve through IFA, key amongst others being financial freedom. I

think I am able to say today that IFA has made all the difference in my life

and having pushed myself, I was able to see the rewards at the 2013 IFA

Mass Rally. The highlight of the Rally for me was achieving Legend status

and now I look forward to even greater heights of success.

For those of you who missed the 2013 IFA National Mass Rally, you may have already heard about IFA’s exciting new cash-filled competition called: MEGAbucks. This competition is positioned to challenge, drive and motivate IFAs to get their share

of the MEGAbucks.

This new adrenaline-charged competition, is for both longstanding and new IFAs, and is aimed

at acknowledging passion and hard work, giving due credit to the best-performing IFAs within

the competition period.Through perseverance and mega effort, every IFA stands a chance

to win a share of over R1.7 million MEGABUCKS. Cash prizes are up for grabs at Midyear

MEGABUCKS Cheque Point Rallies, as well as at the end of the competition period, at the 2014

IFA National Mass Rally.

Work towards becoming a MEGAbucks qualifier now by earning a kHuLA bONus during

the competition period.

KhuLa BoNusThe first time 3 or more premium-paying Key Appointments on Level 1 pay their first premium

in the same IFA earnings period, the introducer will receive a once-off bonus of R80 per paid

policy (e.g. if 4 Key Appointments pay their first premium in the same earnings period you will

receive R320).

Similarly, when 3 or more premium-paying Key Appointments pay their second premium in the

same IFA earnings period, the introducer will receive a bonus of R80 per paid policy. Finally,

when 3 or more premium-paying Key Appointments pay their third premium in the same IFA

earnings period, the introducer will receive a further bonus of R80 per paid policy.

This exciting new bonus offers IFAs an opportunity to benefit from every additional (over 3) Key

Appointment introduced in the same earnings period by including:

• All policies considered for payment during the competition period (Payment date from 20

March 2013 to 20 Feb 2014) count towards a Khula Bonus.

• No limitation to the amount that can be paid in the form of Khula Bonuses during the

competition period.

Note: Only one paid policy per Key Appointment counts towards a Khula Bonus in the same earnings period.

Qualify for one of the MEGABUCKS categories and earn your status, as well as stand a chance

to win cash in February 2014, at the IFA Mass Rally. The qualification for each category is based

on the introduction of a specified number of paid new business policies on Levels 1-3 in the

relevant categories during the competition period.

If you qualify for entry into the MEGABUCKS competition by earning a Khula Bonus by

June 2013, you will be eligible to participate in the MIDYEAR MEGABUCKS CHEQUEPOINT

Competition. The Top 3 performers per province will each receive a cash prize, based on the

winner being the IFA with the highest number of paid new business introduced on Levels 1-3,

with a minimum of 150. Policies counting towards the Midyear MEGABUCKS CHEQUEPOINT

competition are those counting towards payment dates 20 February 2013 to 20 June 2013

(inclusive). The prizes, per province, are R5 000, R7 500 and R10 000 for the relevant position.

One part of the competition is called the MEGAbucks 15 series, aptly named to celebrate IFA’s 15th birthday and IFA would love you to join in the celebrations by qualifying for MEGAbucks.

For each category, the following criteria need to be met:

At the end of the competition this really does increase to MEGABUCKS for Top Performers

when it rewards the real pace-setters with the following cash prizes:

And then because IFA wants to give everyone

a chance to make growing your business

even more worthwhile, we’ve kept our Lucky

draws at Midyear and Provincial Rallies just by

being a MEGABUCKS qualifier you can win

R2 500 (Midyear) and (R5 000).

Possibly the most exciting place in the world to visit, the glittering city of Dubai is an outstanding choice for the 2014 IFA Incentive

conference. It is not only because it has golden beaches, city and desert almost in one, but it also has massive malls with tax-free boutiques. so, if you qualify for the 2014 Incentive conference, you may find that the most challenging part of the trip is deciding what to spend your money on.

From ancient markets to extravagant modern stores,

Dubai is a destination of fascinating contrasts where old

meets new and East meets West. Known as the Pearl

of the Arabian Gulf, the city clusters round an exquisite

creek, the atmospheric alleys of its old town taking a

twisted path of gold, silks and spices.

Dubai offers 4x4 dune bashing or camel riding, various

racing, new age buildings, beautiful golf courses, and

impressive hotels, and that’s just the start. So what do you

need to do to qualify? Start working now – if you haven’t

already! To Buy, or not To Buy – It’s all up to you!

Qualify for the Incentive Conference, and join fellow IFAs

on an experience of a lifetime. Details of the programme

/ itinerary will be communicated closer to the time, rest

assured that IFA Incentive Conferences never disappoint,

speak to a previous Incentive Conference qualifier and

they will sure confirm this. Refer to the rules manual. By Lauren Kleynhans

To buy, or not to buy inFast and Furious IFAs WiN BiGThe old saying that ‘hard work pays off’ is perhaps one of

the most overused phrases. so much so that its intended

meaning may have been watered down to a point where

most people don’t even comprehend what it really means. be that

as it may, one thing it hasn’t lost is its accuracy when applied -

something IFAs Delani Maishi, Monde Qotywa and Thula Mafoko

did as they emerged the top three performers in the Fast and

Furious category of the IFA Gijima competition.

As a result of their efforts, the three IFAs were rewarded at

the 2013 IFA Mass Rally, with R150 000, R110 000 and R80 000

respectively. The Fast and Furious category was an added incentive

for top-performing IFAs who had run an exceptional race. These

IFAs achieved the highest number of paid new business introduced

on Levels 1-3, with a minimum of 1000.

Izindaba spoke to the winners about what drove them to win.

15th Birthday

IThis year’s IFA Presenters’ Conference was nothing short of inspirational and educational.

With the theme being ‘Ubuntu’, the conference which took place on 22 February 2013

at Birchwood Hotel & Conference Centre in Johannesburg was bound to be one with a

difference. “This year’s Presenters’ Conference was themed around the ‘concept’ that drives

all the success in IFA. It is the core component and the ‘golden thread’ that touches on all that

is IFA, and that lives in each and every one of us,” says Keeran Krishna, Head of Presenters’

Strategy.

IFA Presenters from all corners of the country converged on Thursday afternoon, 21 February

and had the opportunity to mingle and catch up with each other. Later that evening the 2012

best performing presenters were recognised.

The big day (22 February) is where it all happened – in an informative, educational and

motivational conference, the year ahead was unpacked and presenters were thoroughly

equipped for 2013. “The aim of the 2013 IFA Presenters’ Conference was to educate

and motivate all presenters in attendance. Education was centered on new initiatives

planned for 2013 and industry related changes, while motivation was designed to inspire

those attending to go back and give it their best in growing their IFA Businesses,” further

explains Keeran Krishna.

Being filled with the spirit of ‘Ubuntu’, IFA Presenters are determined to support and

assist all IFAs sell the IFA brand and IFA Business Opportunity. So keep inviting people to

IFA Presentations, a group of highly motivated IFA Presenters awaits them.
