The View Point

Guest: Yanga Duma, Founder & CEO: IF Insurance Intermediary

Some insurance products, such as life covers and funeral covers, have been known to be unfavourable underwritings in South Africa, resulting in high pricing. Our conversation follows the recent raid on eight major long-term insurance companies as part of the Competition Commission's investigation into alleged price fixing and collusion. We speak with IF Insurance to gain a better understanding of this industry and what affordable insurance product options are available. The financial advisory practice offers its clients financial planning services such as investment, retirement, and estate planning. The company can also help you find low-cost funeral insurance and life insurance.

The South African automotive industry is critical to the South African economy, and it is the continent's largest vehicle exporter. With a 0.58% market share in vehicle production, the country ranks 22nd in the world. Despite its success, there is no doubt that the automotive industry is lagging behind other sectors in its efforts to address gender imbalance. As we continue to observe Women's Month, we pause to consider the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion of women in the automotive industry. We are joined by key stakeholders in the automotive industry to help us better understand where opportunities for improvement may exist in terms of closing the gender gap and increasing diversity in the industry.
