South Africa is home to many airtime and betting vouchers and these are some of the most popular ways of funding one’s airtime account. The popularity of vouchers stems from the fact that people can actually use them without having to use their Bank Cards since people are very skeptical when it comes to making online transactions with their Bank Cards especially at a time when cyber fraud is quite prevalent. The other reason which makes vouchers popular is the fact that they are readily available across South Africa and can be purchased even at the local Spaza shops and at leading supermarkets such as Game Stores, Shoprite, Checkers and several others. Generally, making use of a voucher is quite easy, you simply have to purchase the voucher and then redeem it and receive the equivalent value of your voucher as your airtime, or money because you need to realise that vouchers are not limited to airtime only, others are used in other industries such as betting amongst others.
