Be aware of insurance stipulations for storing items in safes
MANY homeowners have begun installing safes in their homes in an effort to protect their valuable and irreplaceable items from theft, loss or damage.
Microdot law may result in reduced motor insurance premiums

Simple home maintenance tips may prevent insurance repudiations
It is often said that home is where the heart is, yet most people unconsciously overlook important aspects of home maintenance without realising that this could have serious insurance repercussions.
IMPLICATIONS OF STORING VALUABLES IN SAFES - Secure tips for your clients’ precious items
With a total of 247 630 burglaries and 16 889 robberies reported at residential premises, according to the South African Police Service Crime Report for 2010/2011, many homeowners have begun installing safes on their properties to protect their valuable and irreplaceable items from theft, loss or damage. While this can be an excellent way to protect valuables, it is also of the utmost importance that clients are reminded about the terms and conditions on their insurance policies when using a safe to avoid the risk of a claim being repudiated.
Microdot Technology now a law:
MUA is pleased to announce that amendments to the National Road Traffic Act now require that all new vehicles registered in South Africa as of 1 September 2012 must incorporate Microdot technology. MUA believes this is a hugely positive step towards the identification and recovery of stolen vehicles and could possibly benefit consumers through reduced motor insurance premiums in the future.
Defining the difference between private and business use for your client’s vehicle:
Just a friendly reminder for your clients in order to avoid motor claim repudiations, please check with your client what their use is for their vehicles, as MUA has three different categories namely Private Use, Private and Commuting Use, and Business Use.
