National treasury has already predicted a contraction of the economy, and the health and insurance industries would need to adapt for these future outcomes, according to the findings. Liberty group executive for retail solutions David Jewell said: “The Covid-19 pandemic is resulting in...

Does having a trauma counselling session after a hijacking mean you suffer from depression? Can you be accused of having suffered from depression if you visited a psychologist for a single session of trauma counselling after a car hijacking? That’s just what Liberty Life did, in declining a woman’s claim for temporary disability benefits for depression, on the basis that she suffered from depression two months before taking out the policy - that’s what the insurance industry terms a “pre-existing condition”. The woman, identified only as “Ms B”, lodged a complaint about the decision with the Long Term Insurance Ombudsman’s office in 2013,...

JOHANNESBURG — It’s been a terrible few months for cybersecurity in South Africa as local companies lurch from one data breach to the next. Just this month, it emerged that local traffic fines website, ‘ViewFines.co.za’, had a data breach involving almost 1 million South Africans.

The high court has dismissed Discovery's attempt to stop competitor Liberty from using Vitality status in calculating life insurance premiums, with costs. The Vitality level of a Discovery client is the personal information of that client, and they can disclose it to anyone they want, the court said. Asking for that status is not a trademark infringement, nor unfair competition, the court ruled. In fact, Liberty's competition with Discovery protects Vitality members from Discovery developing a monopoly – which is good for the members. And the court thinks Discovery actually benefits too from Liberty's piggy-backing. It is not going to stop competing life insurer Liberty from using the...
