What's Included in Every Tier

Core membership services commence upon successful registration. Certain subsidised, financial or resource-intensive services are progressively introduced and subject to qualifying periods, eligibility criteria, available resources and the RAMA Membership Terms and Conditions.

Protection & Legal Support

Member legal information, case intake and referral to approved independent legal practitioners. Incident reporting with case tracking is progressively introduced, subject to available resources.

Advocacy

RAMA seeks structured engagement with SAPS, Home Affairs and the Inter-Ministerial Committee on migration, backed by member-driven policy input.

Health & Legal Support Access

Access, where available, to negotiated health, wellness and legal-support services through approved partners, subject to applicable terms and fees.

Financial Inclusion

Financial-literacy programmes, banking navigation, and access to approved referral partners for business permits and skills training — progressively introduced, subject to eligibility and available resources.

Community & Safety Network

Community networks and verified safety information, with local chapters and liaison structures planned and progressively established as RAMA grows.

Identity & Standing

A RAMA membership card evidencing verified, registered membership in good standing. Proof of RAMA membership only — not a government identity document.

Membership Eligibility

RAMA's membership is specifically focused on African migrants holding recognised legal documentation or status under South African immigration and refugee laws. This includes valid permits, visas, permanent residence permits, asylum-seeker permits, or recognised refugee status. RAMA verifies status at sign-up and periodically thereafter.
