Game changers unite
SIYA Kolisi and Lungi Ngidi are the new brand ambassadors for OneSpark.
The insurance brand was started by Greg Smith and Josh Kaplan, two actuaries who designed dozens of award-winning insurance products and helped create one of Africa’s largest Social Impact Bonds.
“Our current suite of products can create a nation of millionaires, where for every one million South Africans we protect, our products will inject at least R1 trillion back into the South African economy. Our soon to launch life insurance products will do even more, changing everything the world thinks it knows about life insurance,” said Smith, co-founder and joint chief executive of OneSpark.
Springbok World Cup winning captain, Kolisi said: “I have always been passionate about giving back, and seeing the work that Onespark is doing to allow South Africans to lead better lives is exciting to see. I know first-hand how communities are struggling financially from the work that we do with the Kolisi Foundation. Giving people opportunities to take their financial future into their own hands will change the lives of many communities.”
For cricketer Ngidi, sport has been the vehicle to give him financial independence.
“There are many people in South Africa who don’t have the same opportunities and tools financially to take charge of their lives. I had a difficult childhood growing up, but sport was the game changer in my life. This partnership was the perfect fit for me,” said Ngidi.
Kaplan, co-founder of OneSpark shared the sentiment of the game changing narrative. “OneSpark is changing the insurance game and helping to create a better South Africa for all.
Together with Siya and Lungi, who personify everything that we stand for and the enormous potential that South Africa holds, we are setting out to change lives and South Africa, one policy at a time.”
