Securing your child’s future, even beyond your lifetime
For most parents, everyday life is a whirlwind of activity. Balancing work and family life, most of our waking hours are spent catering to the needs of others – whether it is the demands at the office or the little ones at home.
Despite the sacrifice, few things in life are as rewarding as knowing that you give your children every possible opportunity to succeed, and providing a quality education is at the top of most parents' priority lists.
What if you are faced with the unthinkable?
According to John Kotze, Head of Retail Protection Product Marketing at Old Mutual, all parents should face an uncomfortable yet important question when planning to secure a quality education for their children: “What if something happens to me?”
“The thought of not being there to witness a child’s milestones is heartbreaking,” says Kotze. “However, it is crucial to consider how you can help them to achieve their goals if the unforeseen happens and you pass away. This is why having life insurance as part of your financial plan is so important to secure your child’s future.”

Is Life Insurance Worth the Investment?
Our newly released 2023 claim statistics shows that the unexpected passing of a breadwinner at any age is always within the realm of possibility – and it happens far more often than most of us think.
In 2023, Old Mutual paid 98% of all death claims, totalling an astounding R5.6 billion. Claims payout started as young as 20 and were relatively evenly spread between men and women.
These numbers paint a clear picture; tragedy can strike anywhere, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle. Life insurance can provide parents with the peace of mind that the future they want for their children remains possible, even when they are no longer there.
Choosing a trustworthy FINANCIAL SERVICE PROVIDER
“Trust is everything when it comes to selecting a Financial Service Provider,” says Kotze, “and partnering with an accredited financial adviser can help you protect the ones you love with life insurance that suits your lifestyle.” Old Mutual paid R14.1 billion in risk claims across Old Mutual South Africa in 2023. That is an average of R57 million for every working day. These numbers serve as proof that Old Mutual consistently strive to honour their promises to be there for their customers, especially in the moments that they need them most”.
