Our Group works closely with a number of associate companies where we have significant influence, even though we do not hold complete control. These investments usually range between 20% and 50% shareholding and allow us to collaborate on projects that benefit both parties. Through these partnerships, we combine expertise, share resources and create solutions that support our customers, communities and long‑term growth.

Our most notable associates include Sanlam Allianz Namibia and Santam Namibia, which enable us to offer a wide range of short‑term and life insurance products through our bancassurance model. These partnerships strengthen our ability to meet the diverse insurance needs of individuals, businesses and specialised sectors.

We also hold an interest in Paratus Group Holdings, a fast‑growing pan‑African telecommunications provider that is expanding digital infrastructure across the African continent. This investment supports our commitment to innovation and regional development by improving connectivity and providing digital access in key markets.

Our long‑term investment in these associates remains a strategic part of our portfolio and consistently delivers value through strong performance, innovation and shared growth opportunities. Each associate plays an important role in helping us create positive change in the markets where we operate. Learn more about our associates here.​
