Register and verify

We stand together, the Makuleke way.
THE 90s is a society for Makuleke community members. When someone passes on — a parent, a brother or sister, a child — the society stands with that family and helps carry the cost of the funeral. Register, verify your email, and once an administrator approves you, contribute in rand through a secure hosted checkout — every contribution carries its own reference and a receipt.
- Verified members only
- Secure ZAR checkout
- Receipt after confirmation
How the society works
One shared pool, run by the community, that stands with a family when someone passes on — whether it is a parent, a sibling or a child. Every step is recorded and every rand traceable.
Administrator approval
New applications sit at Pending Approval until an authorised administrator reviews them. Administrators can also suspend or revoke a membership when the organisation's rules require it.
Contribute securely
Approved members enter a contribution amount in rand and pay on the payment provider's own secure checkout page. We never see or store your card details.
Contribution amounts are set by the committee, not by this website. There is no fixed amount published here. Authorised administrators configure the contribution rules in the administration dashboard, and members see the current instructions when they sign in.
Why we are called THE 90s
THE 90s is named for the decade the Makuleke community started this society — the years of boomboxes, cassettes and neighbours who stood together for school fees, for celebrations, and above all for each other when someone passed on. The music changed; the promise did not.
Today the same group keeps the same discipline, with a modern record behind it: every member verified, every rand traceable, every receipt issued only once the money is confirmed.
Membership is for the Makuleke community
THE 90s exists for people with a real connection to the Makuleke community. Registration is open, but access to the members' area and to contributions is not automatic.
- Full name — as it should appear on your contribution records.
- Email address — we send a verification link here before anything else happens.
- Phone number — so the committee can reach you about your membership.
- Your connection to the community — a short explanation of your family, village or role in the Makuleke area.
New applications start as Pending Approval
By registering you consent to THE 90s holding your name, email address, phone number and community connection for membership administration. You can ask for your account and personal details to be deleted at any time. Only administrators see applications; only treasurers and administrators see contribution records.
Inside the members' area
Once your membership is approved you get your own private dashboard. Nobody else can see your contribution records — not other members, not the public.
Contribution instructions
The current contribution rules, set by the committee, with the amount field in South African rand and a unique reference generated for each contribution you start.
Payment history
Every contribution you have made, with its reference, date and amount, and a receipt you can download — issued only once the payment provider has confirmed the money on our server.

Chairperson of THE 90s
Chairperson · Committee
The chairperson leads the committee that runs THE 90s. They open and close meetings, keep the group's rules in order, and are the person who signs off on how the pool is managed.
“Every rand in this pool belongs to a family in our community. We keep the records straight so that trust stays where it belongs — with each other.”
- Leads committee meetings and the annual general meeting.
- Reviews and approves new membership applications.
- Signs off on contribution rules and payouts with the treasurer.
- Represents THE 90s in the Makuleke community and beyond.
Money handled properly
Community savings only work when the records are honest. Here is how THE 90s protects the pool and your information.
Confirmed on our server
A payment is only marked successful when the payment provider's verified webhook tells our server so. A browser redirect alone never releases a receipt, and duplicate webhook deliveries are ignored so no contribution is counted twice.
No card data, ever
You pay on the payment provider's own hosted checkout. THE 90s never stores card numbers, CVVs, banking passwords or gateway secret keys — not in the database, not in your browser.
Private financial records
Members can only see their own contributions. Financial records are restricted to authorised treasurers and administrators, and every financial change is written to an audit trail.
Test mode until the committee says go
The contribution flow runs in the payment gateway's test mode while the organisation's merchant account is being approved and the flow is being tested end to end.
Live payments are switched on only after the committee explicitly approves the launch — and only once the gateway credentials are in place. That approval step is yours to give.
