South Africa ranks as the fourth most expensive country when it comes to funeral preparations, according to City Press. While you can never be truly prepared emotionally for losing a loved one, it’s vital to ensure your family’s funeral plans are in order and you’re aware of the financial implications.
This, in fact, is why stokvels were originally formed in South Africa: to initially ease the financial strain in the event of a dire situation, such as death. Particularly in cases where the breadwinner of the family dies, the financial burden of the funeral falls on the bereaved family, who are already deprived of their source of income.
How Menzi Khuzwayo prepared for the worst
Menzi, a husband and father from Umlazi in Durban, was looking for funeral cover for his small family. In the comfort of his own home, he was able to sign up for VodaSure Funeral Cover using the VodaPay app. The application process was quick and easy, and Menzi’s cover was sorted in less than 10 minutes.
“When I was searching for suitable funeral cover, my priority was something affordable, with low premiums that could pay out quickly when needed,” says Menzi. Another feature of VodaSure Funeral Cover that appealed to him was that it didn’t require any paperwork, he adds.
