moving Up With The 2014 Ifa Forum Members
The leadership of the IFA network, in the form of Forums, gets announced at every Mass Rally based on their performance from the previous year. This year, IFA
Forums saw a combination of some upward movements as well as some new faces and they will collectively steer the network to greater heights. Congratulations
to the new IFA Forum members for 2014 who were introduced at the 2014 IFA MEGA Mass Rally. Izindaba caught up with them to share their thoughts.

“Consistency – that’s the magic word in the
IFA business and certainly something I have
lived by. For the last 12 years, since joining IFA,
I have always strived to ensure that I equip
myself with all the knowledge and skills I need
to succeed and stay successful. My recent
achievements will inspire me to achieve my
next goal of making Club 15,000.”
“It’s a great achievement to move up anywhere.
It’s a real honour for me to be part of the
leaders of such a big network. A very big part
of my success is due to the fact that I always
make sure that I familiarise myself with all the
rules and various qualifying criteria. I was aware
of what I needed to achieve to get to this level
and I worked towards it, so I’m really happy
that it all worked out for the best.”
“I’m over the moon about moving up in the
Forums and really happy that my perseverance
has paid off. I have found that, like in any other
business or profession, there are no shortcuts
to success. With IFA, if one thoroughly
observes and applies the Invite, Meet and
Follow-up (IMF) formula, they’ll be well on
their way to success. I’m hoping my latest
achievement will inspire my team to work
even harder to gain success themselves.”
“I’m sure you’ll agree that any form of
progress is welcome in whatever you do. So
I’m really happy that I’m seeing the results of
my work and my business is growing. I have
to attribute a part of my success to my team,
the Dream Team, which has been working
very well together, with everyone focused on
making a success of their own business as well
as those of others.”

“It feels good to be an IFA Legend again.
Albert Einstein defined insanity as, ‘doing the
same thing over and over again, but expecting
different results.’ So after a while in my
business, I decided to approach things a little
differently and I’m happy to say it worked.
As a result, I’m now even more motivated as
I march towards achieving my next goal of
reaching Club 7,500 in 2015.”
“To have made it this far in this business is
something I’m very proud of but that’s not to
say I’m resting or taking my foot off the pedal.
I’m going to continue working as hard as I can
until I realise my full potential in this network.
It’s going to require a lot of focus, hard
work and dedication for me to achieve even
more but I think I’m equal to the task. Most
importantly though, I work with a very spirited
team and together, we’re going places.”
“I’m very honoured to be an IFA Achiever. My
immediate goal is to maintain it and build up
from there. Achieving this has left me highly
motivated and I aim to work towards qualifying
for the next Incentive Conference in the USA
and the Western Caribbean. I’m going to do
my best to help others in my network because,
“umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” (you are what
you are because of people) and also continue
to Invite, Invite and Invite!”
“It’s an amazing feeling to become an IFA
Achiever but it will be even better when I
move even higher. I plan to continue working
as hard as I can to see how far I can go. I also
want to help others succeed because I believe
it is through helping others succeed that we
become successful ourselves. I’m giving myself
a few months to work towards achieving
Legend status and I will not stop there.”

“This achievement came as a result of an ongoing team effort and lots of hard work. I
don’t think I would’ve managed to get here
without the team’s support and my husband’s
encouragement. I think we need to make our
mark as women in the network and show
that it’s not only a man’s game but we also
can achieve as much as anyone else. My next
challenge is to move a step up and become a
Legend.”
“I still can’t believe I made it into the prestigious
IFA Forum. If I could achieve this, absolutely
anyone in the network can. In 2013 I was
on Club 2,500 and told myself that I wanted
to be on Club 3,750 by December 2013, I
worked really hard and here I am. With this
achievement, I’ve proven to myself that the
sky is the limit. I have now taken aim at Club
7,500 for December 2014 and will work hard
daily and see what happens.”
“I am still on cloud 9. I’ve been working
extremely hard to get back to being a Forum
member because it’s something I was once
had and I badly wanted it again. I was actually
aiming to become an Achiever but as they say,
‘shoot for the moon and if you miss, you’ll
land among the stars.’ I have an excellent
team and they’re all very supportive and I owe
much of my own success to them.”
“I’m very thrilled to be a new Forum member
as it is something I have wanted for a long
time. I simply focused on all the levels in my
business and worked hard with my downlines.
I knew that if the team gained some success,
it would automatically spill over to me. My
achievement feels even more special for that
reason. This whole journey showed me that
with teamwork, anything is possible.”

Silver IFA Couple of the Year,
Danae and Jonathan Schoeman,

IFA Network becoming an inspiration to

pursuing IFA part-time. Shortly afterwards in
May 2006, Jonathan resigned from his job to
become a full-time IFA. We have never looked
back since.

Incentive Conference - Rio De Janeiro
Did you expect to achieve Silver
in the 2014 Couple of the Year
Award?
What are your ambitions for the
future?
Danae: It came as a wonderful surprise.
For several months during the MEGABUCKS
Competition I was on maternity leave. I gave
birth to our twins in July 2013. Despite the lost
time, the strong business foundation that we
built over the last eight years really paid off.
What are some of the wonderful
memories that you have shared?
Jonathan: Over the years, we have shared

many wonderful memories at the Incentive
Conference destinations that we have
visited, including, Mauritius (2008) and Brazil
(2012). Each one feels like a second wedding
anniversary. Many relationships fail because of
financial difficulties yet couples are afraid to
take risks. To borrow from the Nike slogan,
‘Just do it!”.
Jonathan: Our immediate objectives for
this year is to both achieve Club 2,500 and
get to VUKA800 in the Vuku’uzenzele
Competition and to create as many earners as
possible. We want to achieve a totally debtfree lifestyle and continue to show ordinary
people, especially in our community, how they
can be self-empowered through IFA.
Ency Litsoane congratulates Danae at
the 2013 Western Cape Provincial Rally
Why did you both join IFA?
Danae: Before IFA, we felt like our lives were
going nowhere. We had a large bond to pay
and mounting bills. I had been working as a
government employee for eight years while
Jonathan had been a financial advisor for
12 years. I had dreams of becoming a nurse
since my teens but as the years passed by, it
slipped further and further away. In January
2006, we met Ency and Oppa Litsoane who
introduced us to IFA. We were so inspired by
their fantastic drive and shortly joined the IFA
Business Opportunity. A month later I was able

shown that he has the instincts to be a
great IFA someday. Every now and again he
will say to me, “Mommy, I think that you
should talk to this person about IFA,” I then
go ahead to invite that person to attend an
IFA Presentation and it often works. IFA has
played an important role in our family and I
would love to see our children continuing the
legacy as adults.
Partnership in business drives success.
Partnership in marriage is the key to lifelong happiness. Together they are a powerful
combination. Izindaba wishes the Schoemans

Kwele Bapela: Ifa Is about Building My Community
2
014 IFA National Fast Starter Kwele
Bapele is a community builder
first and an IFA second. Blessed
with magnetic appeal and inspirational
quality, his favourite words are “I can.” His
meteoric rise in the IFA Network proves
that he is living his motto to the fullest.
Read more about this remarkable man and
what makes him tick.
“IFA is making a
tremendous difference
in addressing the
poverty and inequality
in Nellmapius”
Growing up Kwele had dreams of being a
doctor, this was not possible and so in 1992
he made his way to Nellmapius Township,
near Pretoria, applying his skills in carpentry
to earn an honest living. Later when he
became a fruit shop owner, he found that
people were naturally drawn to him as a
source of support and inspiration.
“Because of the great need for holistic
support in my area, I started my own NGO
which I have been involved with for the
past 12 years. In this time, I have gained
extensive experience in numerous projects,
including food gardening, motivation
of youth and improving the capacity of
communities. To develop my skills, I obtained
several certificates, including peer education,
facilitation and health care,” he explains.
When Letang Ramushu invited
him to join IFA in 2012, he
waited a year, as he feared
that he would be too busy to
participate in the IFA Business
Opportunity. Lethang tried
again and persuaded
him to attend an IFA
Presentation in March
2013. “At that moment
my eyes were opened. I
realised that IFA could
benefit me, my family,
the volunteers that I
Caption goes here

IFA Izindaba Special Edition • April 2014
work with and my community in general,”
he says. He joined IFA that day.
He immediately proceeded to invite close
friends and family to join. When he received
his first earnings on 20 April 2013 of R3,720
he was inspired to take his business to the
next level. Using the connections that he built
up over many years as a community builder,
he has been able to extend his business to
areas as far afield as Burgersfort, Limpopo.
Kwele sees first-hand the difference that
IFA is making in his area. “IFA is making a
tremendous difference in addressing the
poverty and inequality in Nellmapuis. I
feel privileged that I have been part of this
change,” he enthuses.
True to his character, Kwele has already
donated R1,000 of the R30,000 that he
won as a MEGA815 winner to various good
causes. Currently Kwele is on Platinum
Club 500 and has been a qualified Mobile
Presenter since August 2013.
What does the future hold? “Next year, I also
have my sights on becoming 2015 IFA Mover
and Shaker and achieving Gold Status. My
ultimate dream is to become a Khula Nathi
Qualifier as a Top 200 point earner!” he says.
Greatness begins from within. If Kwele can,
so can you.

business. My family is the reason I wake up in
the morning and do what I do,” he explains.
An elated Thula at the 2013 IFA Mass Rally, where he took
home the big prize - a BMW 3 Series
Thula recalls how it felt like when he
was able to buy his first
family home which was
worth more than a million
rands. “It was an amazing
feeling being able to buy
such a huge house and
provide for my family. I have
also managed to put my
children in the best private
schools in Durban all because
of IFA. Anything you want is
possible through IFA, all you
have to do is have a vision
and a goal. The Invite, Meet
and Follow up (IMF) formula
always guarantees success,”
motivates Thula.
