POST Insurance (motor) held its first termly draw of the Post Insurance spin and win promotion where three customers from different provinces won cars in Bulawayo yesterday.

The Post Insurance is a collaborat­ion of Zimpost and Nicoz Diamond that was officially launched in May 2018 as a motor insurance service that caters for both third party and comprehens­ive insurance covers.

Deputy Minister of Informatio­n, Communicat­ion, Technology and Courier Services Jerifan Muswere who was guest of honour said motor insurance was important for every citizen in possession of a motor vehicle.

“The importance of motor insurance cannot be overemphas­ised, in the event of an accident, insurance provides compensati­on for injured occupants of vehicles as well as the repair works that may need to be undertaken to restore the vehicles to their original roadworthy status,” he said.

The minister applauded Post Insurance noting that it was in line with Government principles.

“I note with satisfacti­on that the Post Insurance product is convenient­ly accessible throughout the 230 post offices in the country. This authentic and affordable service is supportive of the Government of Zimbabwe’s thrust to financiall­y include the generality of the population of Zimbabwe.

Minister of State for Bulawayo Metropolit­an Province, Cde Judith Ncube also concurred saying the service would help people to access insurances.

“This is a clear demonstrat­ion of the Government’s commitment to the developmen­t of postal services in the City of Bulawayo in particular. The motor insurance makes it easy and cost effective for the people of Zimbabwe to access insurance services,” she said.

Zimpost Acting Managing Director Mr Sifundo Moyo said they decided to partner with each other as their services are nationally accepted.

“Zimpost is one of the oldest and trusted courier services provider in Zimbabwe while Nicoz Diamond is one of the biggest companies in the country when it comes to insurance services and this is an added advantage to customers as both companies are a reliable source,” said Mr Moyo.

Nicoz Diamond Acting Managing Director Mrs Gugulethu Ngwenya said the insurance promotion is a short term service which was started in May and ends next year in April.

“We are going to have three draws and this is the first draw, we are taking into account those individual­s that have bought their insurance from 22 May to 31 April 2019 that was the database that we used today to conduct the draw, we have issued close to 8 000 cover notes,” she said.
