South African businesses face rising fire risks amid infrastructure failures

South African businesses are being urged to reassess their fire preparedness and response capabilities as mounting infrastructure pressures, climate-related risks and institutional capacity constraints increase the likelihood and potential severity of fire and explosion incidents.

"Fire and explosion incidents are emerging as a critical business resilience challenge as ageing infrastructure, electricity instability, climate pressures and constrained emergency response capabilities converge,” Gordon Maeta, Head of Fire Forensics at RIXFORENSICA.

From risk to revenue: how telematics is making insurance more profitable

“For decades, insurance has operated on a relatively simple principle: assess risk, calculate the probability of loss, charge a premium and pay claims when things go wrong

Telematics is changing that model.

The vehicle is no longer simply the thing being insured. It is becoming a source of continuous, real-time risk intelligence. Telematics can provide information on mileage, location, speed, acceleration, braking, cornering, driving times and other indicators of vehicle and driver behavior

For insurers, this creates an opportunity to move from risk to revenue by improving underwriting, reducing losses, controlling claims costs and creating new insurance products,” John Nhauranwa, Marketing and Sales Executive, Cartrack Zimbabwe

For most small and medium enterprises across Africa, the biggest asset on the balance sheet is also the most neglected: the debtors book. It is the one thing a business owner never thinks to insure, until a major customer stops paying and the cash flow gap threatens the survival of the business itself. That blind spot is exactly where Coface South Africa, one of the continent's leading trade credit insurers, has built its business.

AIM Editor Andrew Chinoperekwei sat down with Abdul Vally, CEO of Coface South Africa, for a wide-ranging conversation on how SMEs are defined and financed, why trade credit insurance remains misunderstood despite being remarkably affordable, and what it will take to build the skills pipeline the industry needs to expand across the continent. Vally, who has spent three decades in the trade credit insurance industry, offered a candid, practitioner's view of the opportunities and the work still ahead.
