HOW REWARDS WORK ON WAKAMOSO
This service is currently available to South African mobile phone numbers only.
THE EXCHANGE
Rewards are not free money. In return, you give us your details and your answers. By completing the Wakamoso User Profile, you join a panel of people we can send surveys to. That panel is what our research clients pay for, and it is what funds the rewards.
Before you answer a survey you must agree to our POPIA opt-in clause, which sets out exactly what we collect and how we use it. If you have any doubts, please read it first: https://wakamoso.africa/popia-opt-in
TWO WAYS TO EARN
1. COMPLETING A PAID SURVEY
From time to time we run surveys that pay the respondent a reward. Our Mamelodi Radio series was one. So was our recent Baseline Survey, which 3 500 people completed in a single day.
There are no paid surveys running at the moment. Everyone who completes the Wakamoso User Profile is contacted automatically when the next one opens.
2. SHARING YOUR REFERRAL LINK
If you have an Android phone, install the Wakamoso app and open "Share and Earn Rewards". You will see which surveys are available for promotion and the reward being offered for each. This is where you get your own personal link. For the Wakamoso User Profile survey it looks something like this:
https://wa.me/27787703920?text=Hello%20QN0027_######xx
That is an example, not a working link. Yours is in the app.
Share your link with your network. When someone taps it, WhatsApp opens with a message already written. They must send that message to start the survey.
When they finish the Wakamoso User Profile survey, you earn R3. The person completing it does not earn a reward on this promotion. The R3 is paid only if that person is new to Wakamoso. Their WhatsApp number must never have registered with us before.
Please NOTE that promotion on the Wakamoso User Profile has ended as of today 1 September 2026. Other promotions will take place in the near future.
YOUR WALLET
Open the wallet menu here:
https://wa.me/27787703920?text=Menu
There you can spend your balance on airtime, data or vouchers, and set the language you want the menu in.
WHAT ELSE WE ARE BUILDING
The panel is not the end of it. Click this link:
https://wa.me/27787703920?text=Hello%20Wakamoso
It opens a menu where you can create a CV, edit your Community Marketplace listing and register your business with us.
The Community Marketplace is where you can find local service providers near you, such as home bakers and hairdressers. It opens once 50 000 providers have registered. Its purpose is to send business to people in your own area and help them grow. The purpose of Wakamoso more broadly is to help you earn an income, whether through your CV, through your listing, or by answering our surveys.
DELETING YOUR ACCOUNT
You can delete your account in the mobile app. We are building the same option into the WhatsApp wallet menu.
