ABSA house structure insurance worth nothing?

Absa home building insurance - I do not know why I have it. My 2nd claim (small claim) in 34 years and it is declined. After a heavy rain downpour during the night of 20 Feb my house electrical system is damaged and malfunctioning as well as a fridge and electric gate. After 4 days when I enquired regarding my claim for this damage, I was told that they do not entertain electrical damage! I really thought that electrical damage due to a thunderstorm is part of the house structure insurance? I think the next step is to contact the ombudsman regarding this issue!!

I need to make a correction to my report. The damage happened the night of the 13th of Feb. and not the 20th of February. An edited complaint was registered on the 18th of Feb. after complaint no. ********** .
