FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. When do the new premiums take effect? 1 April 2026.
2. Why are premiums increasing? Premium changes are made according to the policy rules to make sure the benefits can continue and the service can carry on. 3. Are cash benefits changing? Yes, some plans (not all) include changes to benefits according to the approved schedule.
4. Will all clients be notified? Yes. Clients will receive direct communication before implementation. 5. What if a client says they cannot afford the increase? Staff must explain the adjustment clearly: The increase is required to make sure the benefits they receive from their funeral plan can continue and that the quality of our funeral service we deliver, can carry on. 6. What if a client wants to cancel? Explain the consequences clearly (including loss of cover and possible waiting periods if they rejoin) and allow them to make an informed decision. If the client persists, follow the standard cancellation procedure. Inform the client that they are always welcome to approach Wisani again if they change their mind. 7. Does this affect waiting periods? No. Waiting periods and other policy conditions remain unchanged unless otherwise stated. IMPORTANT All employees are expected to manage this transition professionally and ensure that communication remains consistent across all branches and departments. Under no circumstances should employees complain about or criticise the increases when speaking to clients; all communication must remain respectful and aligned with company policy. If you need any clarification, please contact Management directly.
Kind regards,
Management
