SASRIA grows profits and capital base as it targets R30bn reserves by 2029
The insurer says reinsurance protection has increased significantly, and it has secured full reinsurance for 2026/27 for the first time in three years.

The insurer says reinsurance protection has increased significantly, and it has secured full reinsurance for 2026/27 for the first time in three years.

After a near five-year absence following the 2021 unrest, Sasria relaunches its wrap cover as a R500 million excess layer above the standard coupon.

The state-owned insurer says it is on track to reach R30bn in reserves by 2029 – but emerging risks could still put its resilience to the test.

SASRIA says the proclamation issued by President Ramaphosa follows its request for assistance from the Special Investigating Unit.

Sasria’s five-year strategic plan includes the reintroduction of R1bn excess of loss cover and expanding its coverage for events such as natural disasters.

Sasria’s coverage limits may be insufficient for many large corporates, which will require additional cover in the form of a riot wrap policy.
