Sanlam, Africas largest insurer and partly owned by South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe, delivered a solid first-half performance in 2025, with profit climbing to 654 million. The gains were driven by steady contributions from life insurance, general insurance, and investment management.
Regional performance paints a mixed picture
The companys report shows profit rising 6.9 percent to R11.64 billion 654.1 million, up from R10.89 billion 612 million a year earlier. The performance, however, varied across regions. Life insurance revenue grew 3.7 percent to R21.84 billion 1.23 billion, anchored by stable demand in its South African base.
