They say: "Only what gets measured, gets managed." It is safe to say if you do not care for your car, you cannot measure its value, nor can you manage it.  Skilled drivers like Joe drive around without car insurance, trying to cut back on insurance to put a little more food on the table. Little did he realize he needed the least auto insurance after a road collision with a yellow bus driver that got away with the incident. Sadly, his ignorance cost him a lot. From towing fees to medical expenses and paying for damaged property, the bills were unlimited.  Amazingly, all these fees he incurred are covered under auto insurance. Do not let this happen to you. Do not be like Joe. Keep your risk at bay today and enjoy the financial rewards offered by auto insurance. Call 0700SANLAMGI or send a mail to general@sanlam.com.ng

But Rosie had lost all colour and became a liability, going in and out of the mechanic workshop till he had to sell it off. Now that he sav...Read more
