How Guard works
Three moments, one calm circle.
You start a trip
10pm, e-hailing home from Rosebank.
Tap once before you get in. Your circle sees the trip start, the driver details you saved, and where you're heading.
They watch the route
Walking the last two blocks from the taxi rank.
Your live location moves along the map for the people you chose — no phone calls, no checking in, no worrying in silence.
Arrived — or emergency
A collapse at home, a car that stops where it shouldn't.
Arrive and everyone gets the 'safe' ping. Hold the panic button instead and they get an alert with your full location history and medical card.
Your circle doesn't need the app — alerts reach them on WhatsApp too. In a life-threatening emergency, always call 10111 or 112 first.
One THUSO · Two doors
Guard is one part of THUSO — the platform that keeps your whole family ready.
Which door is yours today?
For your family
Documents, safety, wellbeing and plans — in one safe place, so the people you love always know what to do.
Explore the family sideFor your stokvel or burial society
Members, contributions and records — transparent, safe, and never touching your money.
Explore the society sideThe quiet problem
When life takes a turn,
families are left searching.
For the policy. For the documents. For the people to call. Whether it's an illness, an emergency or a loss — the information exists, it's just scattered, undocumented, or only known by one person.
An illness or hospital stay
and no one can find the medical aid, the policies or the plan.
An emergency
and the documents, contacts and cover aren't where anyone can reach them.
A hard season or loss
and the family is left searching instead of being held.
The Vault
One safe place
for everything that matters.
Policies, documents, assets, trusted people, legacy messages, an estate guide — and where the originals live. Quiet. Private. Yours.
Policies & benefits
Life, funeral, medical aid, investments — in one view.
Snap a policy, we do the typing
Photograph a policy — THUSO reads it and fills in the details. You confirm before anything is saved.
Important documents
Will, ID, certificates, title deeds — securely stored.
Property & assets
Homes, vehicles, valuables — documented so nothing is overlooked.
Trusted people
Choose who can access what, and who's alerted in an emergency.
Legacy messages
Video, voice or written messages for the people you love.
Estate guide
A step-by-step walk through the South African estate process.
Where the originals live
Note exactly where the paper copy or key sits, in plain words.
Cover & Estate
Know exactly where your family stands.
THUSO brings your cover, assets and debts into one clear overview — life and funeral cover, what you own, what's owed — so you and your family can see the whole picture at a glance, in one place.
Your cover, visible
Life, funeral and medical policies — plus your stokvel or burial society benefit, listed honestly and separately — so nothing is missed.
What you own and owe
Homes, vehicles, investments and debts — organised clearly so nothing is overlooked.
The whole picture
Policies, assets, debts and society cover in one honest overview. No searching. No wondering.
No guessing, no scrambling — just a clear view of how your family is placed.
Family clarity, made visible.
Thuso Guard
A safety layer
for the people you love.
Hold the panic button or send HELP on WhatsApp, and your trusted circle instantly receives your live location and emergency medical details.
Panic button
Hold it, or send HELP on WhatsApp.
Live location
Shared with your circle in real time.
Guard Circle
Invite people who can use Guard free.
Thuso Guard alerts the personal contacts you choose. It is not a replacement for emergency services and does not contact police, ambulance or armed response — in a life-threatening emergency, always call 10111 or 112 first.
Thuso Thrive
THUSO doesn't just keep your family safe —
it helps them thrive.
Caring for your family's health and wellbeing isn't a game of points or levels. It's about readiness, gentle reminders, and building healthy habits together — so the people you love stay well.
Care for each person's health
A personal emergency medical card for every family member — medical aid, allergies, medications and conditions — ready when it matters.
Gentle reminders
Quiet nudges for check-ups, screenings and vaccinations, so small things don't become big things.
Healthy habits together
A shared place for your family's wellbeing — building awareness, routines and care as a family, not alone.
The greatest legacy is being here.
Less typing, more done
Photograph a policy — THUSO does the rest.
No more retyping policy details from paper. Snap a photo and THUSO extracts the details, ready for you to check and confirm. Simple, honest, and always in your hands.
Snap a policy
Take a photo of a policy schedule, funeral plan or benefit letter — anywhere, any time.
THUSO reads it
We pull out the insurer, policy number, cover amount, beneficiaries and premium — so you don't have to type it in.
You confirm before saving
Nothing lands in your vault until you've checked it. The AI drafts. You decide.
THUSO's AI helps with paperwork — it doesn't give financial advice. Your readiness view lives on your dashboard.
Health & Legacy
Because the greatest legacy
is being here.
Emergency Medical Card
Medical aid, allergies, medications, blood type — shared with responders the moment you need help.
Preventive-care reminders
Gentle nudges for check-ups, vaccinations and screenings. Quietly looking after you.
Legacy Plan
A safe release of what you've allowed, to the people you've chosen — only after we've checked, and you've had time to stop it.

Every member gets their own free family space — one account, both worlds.
The treasurer's society records and her own family vault live side by side.
Stokvel & burial society tools
Run your society properly —
everything you keep on paper, safe and transparent.
For the chairperson, the treasurer and every member — the records, contributions, meetings and claims of your society, kept safe and visible to all. Built with dignity, in the spirit of how we've always cared for each other.
Burial societies
Members, dependents, cover schedules and respectful claim records — carried together.
Savings stokvels
Contributions, arrears and payouts — visible to every member, month after month.
Social (Mogodisano)
Meetings, attendance and shared traditions — kept intact when leadership changes.
Members just type BALANCE on WhatsApp.
No app to install. Any phone. Every member always knows where they stand.
Members, kept safe
Everything you'd keep on paper — names, contact details, ID copies, next of kin — in one secure place, always at hand.
"Who's paid" at a glance
Contributions and arrears, always up to date. No more thumbing through the treasurer's book.
Transparency members trust
Every member sees the group's standing and their own statement — the way it should be.
When a member passes
Respectful death notices to the group, claim coordination and records — carried together, not alone.
Meetings that fit us
Set a schedule that matches how societies meet — including recurring ones like 'the last Sunday of the month'.
Your cover, on record
The society's benefit schedule — what's covered, for whom, and how much — visible to all members.
Records that survive
When a treasurer changes, nothing is lost. The books stay with the society, not in one person's drawer.
Chair, treasurer, member
Simple roles and permissions — the chair leads, the treasurer records, members can see what belongs to them.
THUSO records and coordinates — it never holds or moves your society's money. Your money stays with your society, exactly where it always has.
