Most Zimbabweans, staying in South Africa, always ask how they can continue their funeral policy without interruptions when they move back to Zimbabwe.
If you take a Tanaka Life policy, you can continue your cover when you relocate to Zimbabwe.
Most companies that offer funeral cover for Zimbabweans in South Africa have partners or a parent company in Zimbabwe who takes over your policy when you move back to Zimbabwe.
Tanaka Life does not tie you down to a specific provider but allows you to choose your own service provider. Here is a few reasons why:
Funeral cover benefits
The benefits offered on your current funeral policy may not be the same benefits you get when you relocate to Zimbabwe. Your policy may offer a cash payout in South Africa and when in Zimbabwe that policy may only offer services like burial, transport and grocery allowances.
Some caskets and coffins available in South African plans may not be available in Zimbabwe. It is highly likely the benefits you were to receive in South Africa will change when you move back to Zimbabwe. If you take your policy with Tanaka Life, you have the option to choose plans that offer cash payouts and other benefits.
Currency fluctuations
It would be ideal if you would pay for your policy at the same $US equivalent when you relocate. As the currency exchange rates fluctuate everyday your premium has to be set and you are more likely to be moved to an existing plan for easy of administration.
Service provider not in South Africa
Your family in Zimbabwe could be with or recommend another service provider who is not active in South Africa. Zimbabwe has 9 funeral assurers and 11 life assurers according to the Insurance and Pension Commission
Out of those only 5 have a presence in South Africa. It does not mean only those providers offering funeral cover in South Africa are the best by virtue of their presence. To give you choice you can get policies from about 20 providers when you move back to Zimbabwe.
Different funeral plans
Our extended family policies allow you to cover up to 13 family members. Very few providers offer such type of a funeral policy in Zimbabwe and it would be difficult to continue your cover as it is. Therefore to enable you to continue your cover, you might need to work with any organisation that offers a similar service.
How does Tanaka ensure continuity of your funeral policy?
If you have a Tanaka Life cover, you choose your own provider when you move back to Zimbabwe. We understand that waiting periods are frustrating. No one wants to be on waiting periods for the second time. You are covered for free by Tanaka Life whilst you are servicing the waiting periods of your new service provider. If death happens you will fully claim from Tanaka Life.
This ensures that you choose your own service provider who can meet your needs and preferences.
Here is a list of service providers to choose from when you relocate to Zimbabwe. These providers are registered funeral and life assurers by The Insurance and Pensions Commission (IPEC) in terms of section 10 of the Zimbabwean Insurance Act [Chapter 24:07]
