Dear Readers, We welcome you to the winter edition of our Newsletter. South Africa has moved to lockdown stage 3 and the vaccination drive of the Government has picked up momentum with over 3 Mio citizens being fully vaccinated so far. There are millions more of vaccines arriving in South Africa over the next few weeks. More great news came from the past Olympics, where the South African swimmer, Tatjana Schoenmaker, striked SA’s first Olympic gold and smashed the world record in the 200m breaststroke.

Dear Readers, We welcome you to our first Newsletter for 2021. The autumn weather is slowly heading towards Cape Town and we had our first stormy rains, which are always very welcome. The “Corona-front” is becoming less stormy and we are happy to have moved towards the lowest lockdown level, which almost feels back to normality. As usual in our newsletter, we have included information for you across the board regarding insurance, immigration, taxation and other related topics. This newsletter can be viewed under https://www.swissfin.co.za/newsletters/swissfin-swisssure-newsletter-march-2021/. Our Team would like to wish you a wonderful Easter Weekend and good luck with the Easter egg hunt! Enjoy the reading, with best regards, Your SwissFin / SwissSure – Team   Your SwissFin / SwissSure – Team

Dear Readers, We are coming to an end of a year that made history and will be remembered for a long time. Whilst some of the articles in this newsletter are still Covid-related, other articles show that we are hopefully heading for more normal times again. As we stand on the brink of a new decade, we are entering a period of high uncertainty and considerable challenges – economically, politically, technologically, and socially. As usual, we have also included information across the board regarding investments, short-term insurance, immigration and other related topics. This newsletter can also be viewed under https://www.swissfin.co.za/newsletters/swissfin-swisssure-newsletter-december-2020/. We would like to thank all our clients for their loyal support over a difficult period. We wish you and your family an enjoyable Christmas time and hope the New Year will bring in much prosperity and happiness for you. Enjoy the reading, with best regards, Your SwissFin / SwissSure – Team

Dear Readers, We welcome you to the latest edition of our Newsletter. We are excited to share some positive and interesting articles with you, although our headlines are still dominated by the Covid-19 implications. Following a recent Western Cape High Court case, which was ruled in favour of the policyholder, commercial insurers are coming to the party and are settling Covid-related claims. You will find detailed information under the short-term chapter further below.

Dear Readers, We welcome you to our first Newsletter for 2020. We would have loved to share more positive information with you, but matters like the Covid-19 virus, lockdowns, rating downgrades and recession fears fill our newsletter headlines as well. Our focus in this newsletter is the impact of the virus on your short-term insurance policy, health insurance and migration matters. As usual, we have also included information for you across the board and this newsletter can be viewed under: https://www.swissfin.co.za/newsletters/swissfin-swisssure-newsletter-april-2020/ We wish you and your loved ones good health during these challenging times and please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any queries.

Dear Readers, We have a full newsletter to close off this year. The focus is the introduction of the National Health Insurance (NHI) bill, which has been heavily criticised in the press over the last few months. Please find our summary and comments further below. As we are heading into the holiday season, we also would like to highlight the pitfalls of travel insurance policies. Many people assume they have automatic travel cover by paying the travel costs by credit card, which can be a dangerous assumption. Christmas and the summer holidays are just around the corner. Our team wishes you a great time with your family and friends and lots of good health and great times for 2020. Please travel safe on our busy roads during the festive season. We would also like to take this occasion and encourage you to read our newsletters. All important information, especially when it comes to changes to your short-term insurance policies, are communicated in our circular for your attention. As usual, we have also included information across the board regarding investments, short-term insurance, immigration and other related topics. This newsletter can also be viewed under https://www.swissfin.co.za/newsletters/swissfin-swisssure-newsletter-december-2019/ Enjoy the reading, with best regards, Your SwissFin / SwissSure – Team
