SHORT TERM INSURANCE

Without it, no insurance portfolio is complete. With Donsure, you can enjoy all of your protection under one roof and of course, at the best rates.

South Africa is faced with numerous challenges – from climate change and harsh weather conditions to diminishing livestock as a result of drought, the risks associated with business and everyday life are many. It’s for this reason that insurance is so crucial to protecting one’s assets in case of an unforeseen event, whether it is agricultural, commercial/industrial or domestically related.
