| Abstract | Stokvels, globally known as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), remain a major form of social protection for the poor within the South African context. The continued existence of stokvels is a reflection of the absence of a comprehensive formal social security system. However, stokvels have not been given adequate attention despite their contributions in protecting their members from diverse adversities. This empirical presentation, based on one of the objectives of my PhD, discusses the contributions of stokvels to the social protection of their members. Findings revealed that stokvels addressed income insecurity, provided for children’s educational needs, provided access to health promotion, and enhanced access to a broader social capital base of their members. |
