Sanlam CEO, Paul Hanratty, says the insurer hasn't struggled selling life insurance, despite the financial pressures facing consumers.Africa's largest insurer Sanlam says it's unfazed by a double-digit fall in new business volumes for its life insurance business in 2022, confident that it can defend its market share as under-pressure consumers turn to well-established brands.
