Pongezi Affiliate Terms

Effective date: 10 November 2026

You accept these terms when you tick "I accept the Affiliate Terms" to join the Pongezi referral programme.

Between: Mafichoni Limited, operating Pongezi ("we", "us"), and you, the person referring hosts (the "Affiliate").

  1. Who can join. You must be 18 or older, live in Kenya or hold a Kenyan M-Pesa number, and sign up in your own name with your own phone number and email. One affiliate account per person. You confirm your number by sending us the JOIN code on WhatsApp from that number.
  1. What counts as a referral. A referral counts only when the host chooses you at checkout ("Were you referred by …? Yes"), whether they arrived through your link or code, or you registered them in your dashboard. The host's answer is final. If the host says no, or never confirms, there is no referral.
  1. What you earn. The commission shown on pongezi.co.ke/refer when the host paid, currently:
    • KES 100 for a self-serve page, when the host pays at least KES 1,000 for it after any discounts;
    • KES 500 for an Essential designed page and KES 1,500 for a Signature designed page, once we have confirmed the package was paid.

The host you refer gets KES 100 off their self-serve page (not combined with other codes). We may change the amounts for future referrals by updating the /refer page; a referral already confirmed keeps its amount.

  1. When you are paid. A commission becomes payable once the page has been live for 7 days, we have reviewed it, and the host's payout number has been verified. Payable commissions are paid every Friday by M-Pesa, from a total of KES 300, to your own registered number only. Before your first payout we send KES 10 to your number to confirm that the M-Pesa name matches yours. Each payout is approved by our staff.
  1. Checks and holds. We check your first referrals, and any referrals past a monthly limit, before they are paid. We may hold or cancel a commission if the page is refunded, suspended or removed, if the fee was paid from your own number, or if a check suggests the referral is not genuine. Your dashboard shows the reason.
  1. Not allowed. Referring yourself or someone in your household using your details; fake, duplicate or test pages; paying or rewarding hosts to sign up (beyond sharing the official host discount); spam, bulk or unsolicited messages; posing as Pongezi or Mafichoni Limited; misleading claims about prices or payouts; paid adverts that use the name "Pongezi"; and registering someone in your dashboard without their knowledge. Breaking these terms means we may suspend your account and cancel unpaid commissions.
  1. Hosts' details. Register only hosts who know you are referring them. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) copy of the phone, email and name you enter, plus the last 3 digits of the number, use them only to ask that host at checkout whether you referred them, and never contact them. Registrations expire after 60 days.
  1. Tax. Commissions are income to you. Where Kenyan law requires it we may deduct withholding tax and ask for your KRA PIN before paying.
  1. Ending. You can leave at any time by messaging us; payable commissions are still paid. We may end the programme or your account with notice; commissions already payable are paid unless clause 6 applies.
  1. General. You are not our employee or agent and may not make promises on our behalf. These terms sit alongside the Pongezi Terms of Service and Privacy Notice. Kenyan law applies. Questions: [email protected] or WhatsApp +254 769 097 765.
