A really good point being highlighted tonight is that financial inclusion is important- but the FSCA is in place to make sure that even the most vulnerable customers are looked after and not exploited by insurers looking after this market #tia2026

We've gone from boardroom discussions to what feels like a courtroom showdown. 👀 A very different setting, a very different dynamic, and a challenge that could completely reshape the race to the finale. Let's see how this plays out. #TIA2026

Understood- but the stats that just came up show that even those that DO have homes and vehicles, more than half don’t take out insurance for them. Do you think it’s a game of just leaving it up to chance and hoping for the best? #TIA2026

Why do South Africans buy so much funeral insurance, and the same attitude doesn’t translate to buying insurance for their homes, cars, and valued assets? Let me hear your thoughts #TIA2026

The competition is heating up. 🔥 Episode 3 of TIA2026 is here, and with only 9 contestants remaining, the pressure inside the boardroom is reaching a whole new level. This week, tensions rise, disagreements surface and unexpected moles are planted to shake up the group dynamics. Trust gets tested. Strategies get exposed. And not everyone handles the pressure the same way. Tune in this Saturday at 18:40 on @eExtraTV (DStv channel 195). Catch the repeat on Sunday at 10:00 on eExtra, or watch on YouTube from Sunday. The game is changing fast. #TIA2026 #InsuranceLeadership #FutureLeaders #eExtra

Don’t get me wrong this competition is tough. And having survived this, there’s no stopping them in the real world. This is the best of the best, and Cruella judgement aside, they’ve all impressed me. Follow these guys, they will change the industry in the years to come #TIA2025

Imagine going from school to studies to a full-blown insurance career. . .just to end up feeling like you’re back outside the principal’s office. This is the pressure cooker that is #TIA2025. 😅🔥
