Documented. Legal. Contributing.

RAMA is an independent, member-driven Non-Profit Company and civil-interest organisation for documented African migrants — people legally residing in South Africa under a valid permit, visa, permanent residence permit, asylum-seeker permit, or recognised refugee status.

We are a partner to government, not an adversary. Our sole constituency is documented migrants: individuals, families and business owners across South Africa, the continent, and the diaspora.
