INTRODUCTION
Vision Provokers is a company originated in Pretoria, Gauteng Province in the Republic of South Africa. It is a company that has a vision of truly, honestly and practically changing the economic landscape of the African continent.The company is incorporated in accordance with, and governed by the provisions of the Companies Act, 2008, without any limitation, extension, variation or substitution; and the provisions of its Memorandum of Incorporation.
We are a principled God fearing company guided by G.I.L.C.C.O.H which are the seven dimensions of trust led by an additional one being God first. We are here not to compete but to dominate our own space and territory since we are altogether unique.
Vision Provokers provides each VID with the best support staff and Loyalty Reward Program in the industry. Our unique business model provides an opportunity for our members to improve the quality of their lives, contribute towards charity via our none-profit organisation Vision Provokers Foundation and equal access to succeed through social cohesion. No buying and selling of products is encouraged by the company, we do not strain our members instead voluntary/compulsory buying of normal household Products to accumulate 100 BV per calendar month.
Vision Provokers does not guarantee that a VID will achieve financial success without working or by relying solely on the efforts of others. One has to ensure that a minimum of 100 BV is accumulated by purchasing Products of choice within a calendar month.
Compensation of VIDs is the company’s prerogative and based on a VID accumulating 100 BV by purchasing Products items of choice and also 100 BV accumulated by not more than 20 VIDs directly Referred under the 1st generation, not more than 400 VIDs in the 2nd generation and not more than 8000 VIDs in the 3rd generation. The purchases are done via our E-store and a direct deposit into the company’s business account.
The fundamental purpose is to build a solid foundation within communities, promote social cohesion and practically eradicate poverty within the African continent. Enhance the spirit of Ubuntu (Humanity) to ensure that an African child does not go to bed with an empty stomach and has the buying power to sustain an African economy.
A successful VID gains exclusive knowledge of the company and direct marketing industry by attending training meetings, maintaining cohesive relationships with down-lines and to understand our acronym
