ABSURD ANNUAL 2026 INCREASE

I am currently on the tanzanite option and paying over R7k, and the other day I received a notice of increase stating that my premium will be over R10k. This is absurd by any standard, an increase of 45%. This is unaffordable, and I think they no longer want me as a member.
