Insurance claims mount as floods devastate Eastern Cape

Gqeberha communities have come together to provide essential support to floods victims.

In the wake of devastating floods in the Eastern Cape, Santam has received over 254 claims for damage to property and assets.

While the full extent of the damage is still unknown, Rowland Ramalingam, Santam’s Head of Non-Motor Claims, cautioned that the number of claims is likely to increase as policyholders begin to file claims.“At this stage, we are not certain of the extent of the damage. We also are not certain what the claims will possibly amount to. In the coming days, we expect the number of claims to increase as policyholders begin to file claims.

On Wednesday, Station Commanders Brigadier Andre Swart and Colonel Tony Nomdoe, along with their teams, volunteered at temporary shelters, providing hot meals, blankets, and essential items.
