1. THE beams and the scorching heat of Champions
Insurance Company really blazed in the insurance
galaxy last year. So bright was the sun of Champions
that it was the only one churning out revolutionary
product after revolutionary product and in all fairness
none could compete.
To those not in the know (how would be a mystery) of
Champions Insurance Company, which is the darling
of Zimbabwe when it comes to insurance, Champions
has done it again. Yearly, Champions runs a
promotion meant to be of benefit to its lucky clients.
The 2014 Insure, Scratch and Win Promotion ran and
some fortunate people began the year 2015 on a
high. Unsuspecting clients got a lifetime surprise
when they were phoned and advised that they had
won in the “Insure, Scratch and Win” promotion.
The grand prizes included tablets, 5.5 kilovolt
generators and 40 inch LED televisions! There were
lots of instant prizes including t-shirts, caps, premium
discounts and umbrellas. All one had to do was to
spend at least US$30 on any Champions Insurance
product or pay full annual premiums on any product
and simply scratch to find out which instant prize they
had won. The idea has always been to give back in a
fun way. Moreso, to enrich the lives of the valued
clients of Champions: Not only that, it allows
Champions to remain connected to the local
Champions Insurance Company:
In a totally different Insurance solar system to the rest.
community in an intuitive way. Giving back has always
been a trait synonymous with Champions and the
logic of the good people at Champions is that they
genuinely want to allow their responsibility as a
company to the society be one that reaches to the
individual and improves their life in a visible way
(remember the cars we gave away in yesteryear?)
24 January 2015, Machipisa Post office was the place
to be as the grand draw kicked off. It was one of pomp
and fanfare. Bumper crowds came in support of
Champions as well as to witness the big event.
Dancehall star, Tocky Vibes had the crowd in euphoria
as he belted hit after hit to a charged atmosphere. It
was quite ironic that he headlined the festivities since
“Champions yaenda nenyika, iChampions ihambe
ngelizwe, Champions has taken the country by
storm!”
This was encouraging to see and showed that there
are some Zimbabwean firms that are recognised and
being appreciated for the hours that they put in and
the sweat involved from braining to birth relevant
ideas into products that actually work. Entertainment
galore boosted the mood of the festivities. Staff from
Champions from the top to the bottom of the pecking
order was present. The sheer turn out of the staff in
itself reflects the desire to meet the people from all
walks of life and locations.
Representing Guest of Honour, Honourable Supa
Mandiwanzira was Permanent Secretary of
Information Communication and Technology, Postal
and Courier Services Engineer S Kundishora who
delivered the address. Of note he recognised the
ingenious ways by which Champions has been
leveraging its focus by partnering with public interest
parastatals. He said “As many of you may be aware,
Zimpost has established strategic partnerships with
various companies in the private sector in its quest to
bring service and convenience to the transacting
public. One of the key strategic partners is
Champions Insurance, provider of short term
insurance services such as motor insurance, house
insurance, travel insurance and business insurance
amongst many other products”.
The crux has been for “greater convenience for
motorists as they can now insure and license their
vehicles under one roof at Zimpost offices
nationwide”. Added to this the local empowerment
drive by the government was taken cognisance of as
he commented that “Zimpost as a government
company will work with several private players in
pursuit of ZIMASSET goals.
The whole experience could not have been more
eloquently nor succinctly put. The welcome remarks
by Mr Gonese Champions Holdings Board Chairman
dropped some choice morsels of wisdom when he
said “Champions insurance and Zimpost strategic
partnership has redefined the way insurance is
distributed in Zimbabwe and therefore coined a
new insurance distribution philosophy called
“Postsurance”. This has enabled even the
remotest places such as Murambinda or
Tsholotsho to offer such first world and at the same
time necessary services right where the people
who need them the most already are. In the
closing remarks, Mr Mapondera the Board
Chairman of Champions cemented the point of
strategic partnering and innovation by saying
“Indeed, Champions Insurance Company and
Zimpost partnership is one of the best
partnerships where government owned
companies engage with the private sector for the
benefit of all stakeholders in the economy”.
Insuring is important and its importance is
sometimes under-appreciated. However, there will
be a day for everyone to have a sudden misfortune
or accident befall them. This is inevitable. The only
cure is regularly insuring in order to contain the
damage of what is to come. It may not come,
tomorrow, next year, or even twenty years, but it
will come and right in time for the worst time.
Insure to protect loved ones, to avoid your
financial ruin, reputational destruction and
property loss among others. Insure now.

Line up of Prizes

2. Some say 2015 is the year of excellence. Some reckon they
will be victorious in the battle with life…and why not with a
winning partner called Champions on your side? If others
can get more than peace of mind for themselves, and their
loved ones by insuring, why not you? If you did not win in
2014 then the Insure, Scratch and Win Reloaded Promo is
the thing for you!. The 2015 Promotion was unveiled by the
Permanent Secretary of Information Communication and
Technology, Postal and Courier Services Dr S Kundishora at

of instant prizes such as caps, umbrellas and cool t-shirts.
There are special scratch cards whereby one can instantly
win even the snazzy smartphones. To enter here is
how…pay for full comprehensive motor cover from as little
as $55 a term and to do so all you have to do is to hop to
your nearest Zimpost branch and ta da! Safety and possibly
something to sweeten the start of the year.
The 2014 fiscal year saw nearly half a billion dollars

may have as well as providing the service itself. Standard
terms and conditions will apply and at the discretion of
Champions should it be warranted.
Civil servants are going to love this one! The Civil
servants and members of the Zimbabwe National Army can
get insurance without bringing cash up-front! An exciting and
stress-reducing product called the “Civil Service Monthly
Insurance Scheme” is fully functional. Civil servants have
been building homes and buying cars, and this is a good
thing, unfortunately, accidents can rob a lifetime of hard work
in an instant. Accidents do exactly what they by their very
definition are, of taking one by surprise. Consider the
carefully the wisdom of insuring. I case you did not know,
with Champions Insurance it costs only US$2.50 per month
to insure a house worth US$30 000.00.

even dried on your signature, you are completely covered for
the month without putting a penny out of your pocket. Just
visit any Champions or Zimpost branch, fill in your SSB form,
proposal form and attach a current payslip and national ID
and its sorted!
CIVIL SERVANTS TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS RENEWAL
Worried about Insurance, NO MONEY PROBLEM! All civil
servants, take advantage of the Motor Insurance Policy in
particular, only pay for the first month in order to defray levy
and government stamp duties. This is usually less than
US$10 then the rest of the months are automatically strung
up from that initial payment and, one has a cover note in
seconds. The crux of this whole drive is to get insurance into
your hands without cash. Champions Insurance is on your
corner, it really does wish you to be well covered. Let other
terrors find you, not of being uninsured.
Don’t take it at face value but have a go through the
catalogue and see the competitive costs they deliver.
Moreover, our turnaround period on processing claims is
beyond belief. It’s easy to convince and fool yourself that “It
can wait”, but what if the day after is your fate appointed
destiny with a tragedy? Is it worth the risk? Is the
inconvenience, the loss or the anguish on not only yourself
but loved ones worth the laziness or penny-pinching leap of
faith? Changing old habits, especially bad habits, begins
today. It’s time to take advantage of the climate existing of no
queues and affordable insurance. Besides, you can win
awesome prizes.
