SAMPRA Royalty Case: Pfanani Lishivha ( SAMPRA CEO )

It’s been some time since devastating floods tore through parts of Limpopo, but for many residents, the disaster is far from over. While the floodwaters may have receded, the damage they left behind continues to shape daily life. Homes were swept away, belongings destroyed, and entire communities displaced. Today, some families are still living in temporary shelters — including community
halls — with little certainty about when they will be able to return home, or what they will return to.
For many, everything they built over years is gone. As attention shifts away from the immediate crisis,
questions remain about recovery, support and rebuilding. What assistance has reached affected
communities? Is it enough? And how do people begin again after losing so much?

Over-insurance can lead to delayed claims, disputes over payouts, or even policies being cancelled
because someone had multiple funeral covers or didn’t disclose all their existing cover. Families often discover too late that what seemed like protection has become confusion, frustration and loss of trust.
This is why the FSCA has embarked on this funeral insurance campaign to educate consumers about
their rights and responsibilities when buying funeral insurance. To talk about this interesting topic, we are going to be joined by Mr Lyndwill Clarke from the FSCA.

South Africa’s long-awaited tobacco control laws are back in the spotlight, as the Department of Health
signals it is willing to make key adjustments following public feedback. At the centre of the conversation is the Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Control Bill, a piece of legislation that has been years in the making and aims to tighten regulations around tobacco and nicotine products — including cigarettes, vapes and other electronic delivery systems.
Now, after the latest round of consultations, government is proposing changes, including clearer
distinctions between combustible and non-combustible products, with the possibility that
some could be exempt from certain restrictions. But while some aspects of the Bill — like banning smoking in indoor public spaces and restricting sales to minors — have found support, others remain highly contested.
