Punishing women following a divorce / higher premium based on woman's marital status

Update: Spoke with Faizel Duval who was excellent and tried his best to review my profile and reduce the premium. Unlike the first person I spoke to when i called outsurance earlier (Outsurance can get his name from the call records) who basically said there is nothing they can do to reduce the premium further than the amount showing if the excess is increased or not increased. Thanks Faizel for all your efforts to assist and for the, from what I could sense, genuine concern. BUT ... While the premium has been reduced to outsurance's satisfaction, it is still high though, considering that my excess is now more than double what it was for me to be able to get the premium to lower level - so still basically being punished for getting divorced. I still strongly believe that there is no justifiable ground for classifying a divorced woman as high risk, since not all single women go out partying or were/are dependent on the husband's income, as some of the justifications for the policy indicate. This policy needs to be tested against the equality provision in the Constitution, and it is also quite stereotypical in the way it views single women. A very problematic policy that i think would not stand constitutional muster, since the justification is, inter alia, stereotypical and disproportionately affects women / unfairly discriminates.

Thanks Outsurance for looking into my complaint and for doing so with urgency. Much appreciated. And a special thanks to Mapula Mosuwe who called me today and was also excellent, and displayed great customer service and people s****s. Hope other Outsurance agents can learn from Mapula and Faizel in relation to how customers are treated and in showing genuine sensitivity to customers' plight.
