Isn’t nature truly amazing? It is only the second week of September, and the trees are already starting to bud without much rain at all (ok maybe a few drops). It’s as if nature just knows that some long-awaited moisture is on its way, and it’s time to get ready to lap it up. Off […]

What happens if you apply for life insurance, but you aren’t in the best shape?
More than 50% of our Stangen Life policyholders are female, so we know for a fact that more and more South African women are buying life insurance.

The risk of cancelling your insurance cover in tough economic times

So, we start and then we stop, and […]
If data is the currency of the future, then POPIA is the new Sherriff in town!
Personal data leaks always grab global news headlines, and the Facebook privacy breach that happened a couple of years ago kinda stole the limelight and put consumer data integrity (or the lack thereof) on the map. Back home in South Africa, our government has been hard at work, for the past several years, on the […]
Is Working From Home A Blessing Or A Curse?
It’s been over a year now since Covid-19 hit the world and in that space of time so much has changed. How many people perform their day jobs now has completely changed – instead of going into an office 5 days a week, many South Africans are now working predominantly from home. Many of us […]
