Poor communication & unnecessary long time to complete admin.

As a SANTAM client I expect that their staff give me accurate information. I have a situation where I only got information after I called back later. It is unbelievable that in 2019 SANTAM still needs 5 days to complete their admin after all relevant information was submitted. This sounds like the days before computers.

Reviewer Update
I received an email from mr Kurt Koopman yesterday, and answered him early this morning.
Their agent called my wife now, minutes ago, with only questions and no information as to what the status of our claim is and how it will proceed.
Definitely still very poor communication from Santam. The fact that all relevant information was submitted available on Friday 6th September 2019, and someone only calls three (3) working days later is proof that Santam Insurance has no regard for their client's situation. This minor collision could have been handled much sooner. Here is a copy & paste from an email stating Santam's policy on timeframe :

Good day Mr. Du Preez

Thank you for all the information.
The validation on your claim takes 5 working days.
I will contact you during the course of the week.

In this follow up of my review I must state again, very poor service delivery.
