Three steps, then you
forget it's even there.
Here is exactly what happens, from the moment you type the command to the moment your staff member gets the thank-you on the phone in their pocket.
Type it the moment it happens.
- /bonsela
- The command that starts every reward. Always the same.
- Lerato
- Your staff member's first name, or the last 4 digits of their number.
- R50
- Any amount from R10 upward. Comes straight from your wallet.
- great service tonight
- A personal note. Bonsela sends it in their home language.
Four moments. Ten seconds.
Say well done in a line
Type it the moment it happens, while you're still thinking it. Name, amount, a quick note. That is the entire input.
Bonsela checks first
Bonsela reads it back before anything goes out. If a name or amount looks off, it asks first. Nothing is sent until you're happy.
Airtime hits the carrier
A direct top-up goes to the network. MTN, Vodacom, Cell C, and Telkom all supported. No voucher code, no PIN, no app required.
Your thank-you, word for word
A WhatsApp message arrives in their home language with your name on it. They know exactly who sent it and exactly what it was for.
Does my team need to install anything?
No. If they have WhatsApp, they're ready. Nothing to download, no account to make. The airtime arrives regardless; WhatsApp is just how they hear from you.
What networks does it work on?
All the major South African networks: Vodacom, MTN, Cell C, and Telkom. Bonsela reads the number and sends to the right one automatically.
Can I see who I've thanked?
Yes. You get a simple running record of every bonsela you've sent, so you can keep an eye on the spend and the spread across your team.
