rykdom definition "rykdom",Afrikaans-EnglishTranslations into English:
|
The rand (sign: R; code: ZAR) is the currency of South Africa. It takes its name from the Witwatersrand (White-waters-ridge in English), the ridge upon which Johannesburg is built and where most of South Africa's gold deposits were found.
As you amass your fortunes in South African Rand from completing jobs, fighting, and collecting from the Shipyard Property you will want to secure your bounty. Like all the other destinations in Mafia Wars there is a Bank where you can save your abundance of cash. The Bank in South Africa is called the Rykdom Bank. Loosely translated, the Rykdom Bank is the Bank Of Wealth or Fortune.

Your The Rykdom Bank begins at level 0 and looks similar to an Umbrella Thorn. At this level you can secure only 1000 Rand in your Rykdom Bank. As you upgrade your Rykdom Bank your deposit limits will increase.
| Bank Level | Maximum Deposit Capacity Of Rand |
| 0 | 1000 |
| 1 | 5000 |
| 2 | 25000 |
| 3 | 50000 |
| 4 | 100000 |
| 5 | 1000000 |
A 15% laundering fee will be taken out of all incoming funds.
You may ask “How do I upgrade the Rykdom Bank?”
- The Rykdom Bank can be upgraded using 5 parts, 4 of which can be collected from Feeds or purchased using RP and 1 part, Vault Code, that can only be earned by mastering any District to any level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby) in South Africa.
- You can post a Feed for a specific Bank part every 24 hours, and can receive a maximum of 4 parts per Feed.
Post your part begs by clicking the ‘Ask Friend’ buttons on the Rykdom Bank page. This posts feeds to Facebook where your friends can,, and hopefully will, help you.
Your friends DO NOT acquire a part for there banks when they help others. These feeds can only be posted once every 24 hours and you can collect only 4 parts from them once a day. Gotta love Zynga and their tactics to try to get you to purchase RP’s.
Another twist is the Vault Codes are only attainable when you master a district. The Vault Codes are NOT purchasable.
If you want to know how many parts you will need to completely build the Rykdom Bank the chart below shows how many parts we expect should be needed to upgrade each level of the Rykdom Bank;
| Alarm | Steel Cables | Money Counter | Steel Shaft | Part Begs | Vault Code | |
 |  |  |  | Needed To |  | |
 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 6 | 1 |
 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 12 | 3 |
 | 4 | 8 | 4 | 8 | 24 | 3 |
 | 12 | 20 | 8 | 20 | 60 | 5 |
 | 24 | 40 | 16 | 40 | 120 | 8 |
 | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| Subtotal | 43 | 74 | 31 | 74 | 222 | 20 |
| Total Parts | 242 |
**NOTE** Since there are only 3 districts currently available you can only collect 12 of the Vault Codes. This will halt any player from upgrading the Rykdom Bank to level 5. This brings up the question ‘will more levels to the Rykdom Bank be added when more districts are opened?’
As you upgrade your Rykdom Bank players might see one of the images below posted on their Facebook wall.
