SASRIA is a state-owned entity that is the only short-term insurer that provides special cover to all individuals and businesses that own assets in South Africa. This cover is there to specifically protect your insured items against damage caused by civil commotion, war, public disorder, strikes, riots and terrorism.
South Africa is one of the few countries in the world where anyone can buy affordable insurance to protect their assets against these kinds of special, and potentially catastrophic events that would otherwise be uninsurable.
When you protect your stuff on Pineapple you can choose to get a SASRIA policy included to protect your insured items against the events listed above. [Pretty cool, right?]
How much does SASRIA cost me?
The monthly cost of a SASRIA policy is 0.00036% of the value of your items with a minimum cost of R3.
i.e. R3 is what you pay until your total insured items exceed R833 333
How do I claim on my SASRIA policy?
