Speaking at the launch this Tuesday morning, Liberty’s Head of Business Development, Kgomotso Disele said, “the main aim is to offer financial inclusion as one of the main objectives; being able to go to remote areas and offer insurance solutions to normal Motswana.

“We do not want to be constrained to reach out to our clientele. The other key component of this service is to offer prompt service- we do not want to compromise our services. We are committed to providing instant service.”
