General information

DEAR DELEGATES

Pearson Chief Executive Officer, South African Insurance Association

The South African Insurance Association (SAIA) and our partner, the Insurance Institute of South Africa (IISA) are thrilled to welcome you back to the industry’s flagship event. Yet again, Sun City will be a hive of activity as delegates convene for what will be a rewarding encounter. Even more exciting, is that this year’s AIE edition marks the 50th anniversary of the conference, a great milestone for an event which is a highlight on the insurance industry annual calendar. The African Insurance Exchange (AIE) has, and continues to be a platform for knowledge sharing, insightful discussions and networking with likeminded individuals who share the same aspirations for the industry.

This year is no different, the conference has an amazing line-up of speakers carefully selected to give insight on the important topics that are pertinent in the changing insurance landscape. According to a report by Deloitte Africa, the South African economy is still under pressure, reeling from supply challenges in the electricity and logistics sectors. The outlook for 2024 remains somewhat toned down and is dependent on the swiftness of structural reforms, largely to address challenges brought about by loadshedding. It is therefore imperative for the industry to gather in this manner to discuss the impact of an economic slowdown and approaches to building operational resilience.

Despite the challenges, the industry has demonstrated its resilience and relevance in the face of numerous significant loss events over the past three years. From the persistent impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to escalating climate-related events and economic uncertainties, each hurdle has tested our resilience. Yet, we have remained steadfast and even more determined to find innovative solutions to address

indisputable, the industry now faces a critical challenge, that of mitigating escalating systemic risks and developing collaborative resilience solutions. The industry continues to grapple with adverse weather-related perils as witnessed during a recent tornado in KwaZulu Natal, which led to the loss of lives and damage to property and infrastructure. Flooding in many parts of South Africa is also no longer an uncommon occurrence thus requiring the insurance industry to constantly evaluate its products to ensure that they align with such risk.

Cyber-attacks are also a growing concern for the industry as incidents of client data breaches are on the rise, calling for stringent data protection regulations. Additionally, technological advancements which are necessary in the digital era also pose added risks, which require discussions on how business and society can navigate embracing technology, whilst also maintaining the reputational integrity of the industry.

Delegates to this year’s conference will be treated to valuable insights that are necessary in navigating through changing trends and identifying the opportunities that lie within. We look forward to engaging with you in the various discussion and plenary sessions during our time together. Furthermore, with the 2024 conference being our golden jubilee, I also hope that you will partake and enjoy in the festivities to mark 50 years of collaboration, innovation and excellence in the insurance industry.

Best Wishes

Hollard - Road Safety Initiatives

Hollard Trucking is a specialist division of Hollard Insure that offer comprehensive insurance for heavy motor vehicles. It is committed to improving road safety in South Africa, and one such way is through the Hollard Highway Heroes initiative.

It was launched to address the road fatalities and destruction of assets, infrastructure, and property caused by heavy motor vehicle accidents in South Africa. Hollard Highway Heroes is a transformative annual competition that requires truck and bus driver to internalise good driving habits and rewards those who go above and beyond to not only deliver their cargo and passengers safely and on time but also to drive responsibly, looking out for other road users and safeguarding their fleet owners.

Meaningful impact

With a focus on road safety, Hollard Highway Heroes meaningfully impacts all road users in South Africa. In addition to participating drivers, the initiative aims to inspire non-participating colleagues to emulate these safety behaviours. This programme also aims to drive financial value for participants through lowering fuel and maintenance costs and reduce accidents. To extend the impact, the competition was opened to bus drivers for the first-time last year and to all fleet owners across the country regardless of whether they are insured with Hollard or not.

Hollard Risk Services Bureau

The Hollard Risk Services – Trucking Bureau will be ten years old this year. The purpose of the Bureau is to actively monitor and report on high-risk driving behaviours. The Bureau has two main functions namely the live monitoring function (24 -hour live monitoring on 20+ tracking systems) and the reporting function (daily, weekly and monthly historic reporting on bad driving behaviours). The Bureau currently monitors over 6000 trucks with over 40 000 high-risk alarms (impact Alerts, battery disconnects, jamming alerts, panic alarms) received monthly and roughly 3500 phone calls made. The reports being sent out daily, weekly and monthly consist of driver behaviour scorecards (speeding, harsh-braking, fatigue driving) and various other bad driving behaviour indicators. The reporting function also administers and facilitates the rewards card programme and the Highway Heroes campaign.
