MBABANE – The launch of the Funeral Cover by Liberty Instacash was a momentous occasion that took place at the Instacash service centre today.
The launch saw the presence of Liberty Management, Instacash Management, and staff. The significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it marks a major step forward in the pursuit of financial inclusion and freedom for individuals in Eswatini.
In his address at the launch, Mandla ‘Cheeks’ Nxumalo, the Managing Director of Instacash, emphasised the importance of the funeral cover in advancing the company’s primary goal of financial inclusion. He stressed that convenience is a top priority for Instacash and expressed gratitude to the Liberty team for their hard work in making the funeral cover accessible to their customers.
Mangaliso Shabangu, the Managing Director of Liberty Life Swaziland, also underscored the significance of the funeral cover in promoting financial freedom, convenience, and affordability. He further announced that there are plans to introduce more products under this programme, thereby expanding the range of financial services available to Instacash customers.
One of the key highlights of the funeral cover is its affordability, as it will cost E15 for Instacash customers who are registered on the platform. It is important to note that this is a member-only product, and Instacash customers will be required to opt in to avail of the funeral cover. Additionally, the waiting period for the cover is three months, which is significantly shorter than the usual waiting period for similar products in the country. This makes it the cheapest funeral cover available in Eswatini, further enhancing its appeal to potential customers.
The introduction of the Funeral Cover by Instacash, underwritten by Liberty, represents a significant milestone in the financial services sector in Eswatini. It not only expands the range of products available to Instacash customers but also underscores the commitment of both Liberty and Instacash to promoting financial inclusion and freedom.

The launch of the Funeral Cover by Instacash is a testament to the innovative spirit and commitment of both companies to providing accessible and affordable financial solutions to their customers. It is a step in the right direction towards achieving greater financial inclusion and freedom for individuals in Eswatini and sets a new standard for the financial services industry in the country. As the funeral cover becomes available to Instacash customers, it is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of many individuals and families, providing them with much-needed financial security during difficult times.
