Credit Life insurance on Home Loan

I have had a Home Loan for 10 years now. I am being grossly overcharged for Home Loan Insurance. My insurance amounts to more than 50% of my monthly installment. This is in contravention of the National Credit Act. Been trying to explain this to the bank for the past 5 months but to no avail. I even referred to the ombudsman but still no justice. Standard Bank claims that it is because I have an "affordable housing" home loan. How on earth!!! Please in the name of all that is fair can someone look into this and do the right thing. Can't help but to feel marginalized for having an "affordable" home loan. Please help!!!!
