We are all fiercely proud South Africans, who at a drop of a hat would happily arm ourselves with a plastic Vuvuzela and some zinc rainbow nation face paint. However, that statistic leaves a lot to be desired, doesn’t it? Sure, we are a young democracy, still going through some growing pains, but crime in South Africa is rife and we can’t side-step the fact that every day, good honest South Africans are the victims of seriously violent acts. We don’t have “crime radars”, so nobody knows when and where crime will strike. All we can really do is make sure that we protect ourselves as best we can, and that protection also includes making sure we have adequate insurance cover in place.
Why Stangen Crime Injury Cover?
We want to introduce responsible insurance products to responsible South Africans. Identifying the need for a crime injury insurance product was just one of the steps we’ve taken in making sure every South African has access to affordable insurance products, that cover a real need.

We have included the following benefits:
- Death cover
