Lefa Cash Loans is a registered credit provider that focuses specifically on giving micro-loans to SASSA recipients and pensioners living in Soweto. They are built for people who sometimes get turned away by traditional banks — individuals without a formal credit history or a high salary. Lefa operates under all South African Credit Union guidelines and takes responsible lending seriously.
If you live in Soweto and need a small loan before your grant payment comes through, Lefa Cash Loans is a local provider that understands your situation.
