Releasing its annual results, Sanlam said its operational performance has been restored to pre-pandemic levels.
The insurer paid out R22-billion in death claims to clients last year as the pandemic toll worsened, up 76 percent on the previous year.
Sanlam says despite a lull in infections, the risk of a fifth wave is real.
