The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on the need for the African insurance sector to demonstrate its critical role in supporting people and businesses. The pandemic has been the most severe risk event in Africa in years, but many insurers across the continent have not delivered on their promise.
In Botswana, the leading life insurer – Botswana Life however says although it’s not business as usual due to COVID 19, the company has not changed its pricing or policy terms and conditions.
“We do not intend to make changes to the pricing or introduce exclusion for high risk age bands. This simply is not the right thing to do in our view,” says Gabriel Tlagae – Botswana Life Communications and Marketing Manager.
