Kgolo Funds
The Prime Position Auction, the Opportunity Ledger, the criteria and the help you need to qualify.
Opportunity Ledger
Funds, in plain numbers
Figures update as funds are committed and received. Every rand committed brings the amount still needed down.
Committed, ring-fenced and deployed funds against the target. Committed is confirmed in writing, ring-fenced is received and held, deployed is spent on projects. A 10% administration fee applies to Ledger funds.
