Insurance fraud | Companies detect increase in fraudulent claims

JOHANNESBURG - Rosemary Ndlovu has been convicted of killing six relatives for insurance payouts.

Rachel Kutumela is charged with nine murders for the same reason.

In 2023, over 13,000 cases of fraud and dishonesty were discovered by life insurers.
