What Exactly is Sasria, and Are You Covered?

The violent unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng during July caused an estimated R50bn worth of damage. However, most insurance policies would not cover any of these losses.

That is because insurers do not themselves cover against special risks such as strikes, riots and terrorism. These are specifically excluded from most policies.
