There’s nothing quite like the heartbeat of the platteland! 🌾🐂

Yesterday, the Van Wyk & Associates team—in proud association with Old Mutual—had the privilege of being part of the Frontier Bonsmara Cattle Sale in Makhanda / Grahamstown.

In our farming communities, agriculture isn’t just an industry—it underpins our entire local economy and way of life.

It was a true honour to man our stand, hand out some crowd-favourite Old Mutual goodies, and catch up with long-standing clients, dear friends, and their families, as well as forge exciting new connections.

A massive shout-out to Hobson & Co for a world-class setup and seamless auction—some truly exceptional animals went on auction throughout the day! 👏

💡 A Thought for Our Business Owners & Farmers
For more than 31 years, we have stood alongside families and business owners through every season of life.

Most people understand the importance of a personal Will—but when last did you look at your "Business Will"?

Whether it’s succession planning, buy-and-sell agreements, or key-person protection, securing continuity for your business and farm ensures that everything you've worked so hard to build is protected for the next generation.

There is immense opportunity ahead when the right foundations are in place.

Whether you caught up with us at the sale or we missed you in the crowd, our doors are always open for a cup of coffee and a conversation about your future. ☕

📈 Milestone Alert: Old Mutual Nears R100 Billion in Claims Paid!

At Van Wyk & Associates, we choose to partner with industry giants who stand by their promises when it matters most.
Old Mutual has just released its latest stats, revealing an incredible R14.6 billion paid out in claims in 2025 alone—averaging a massive R27.5 million every single working day!

With an overall payout ratio of 94% (and a remarkable 98% for death claims), these numbers prove the immense value of having reliable, sustainable protection in place for your family’s peace of mind.

As we look at the trends, there are a few critical insights every South African should note:

👉 The "Big 4" Still Dominate: 68% of severe illness claims in 2025 were linked to cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and coronary artery bypass grafts.
👉 Disability Trends are Shifting: Disability income claimants are becoming younger and more frequently male, while musculoskeletal and central nervous system disorders remain top contributors.
👉 Lifestyle Risks are Rising: Non-communicable diseases driven by environmental factors—like obesity, stress, poor nutrition, and to***co use—are heavily impacting health outcomes and insurance coverage. Half of adult South Africans are currently classified as overweight or obese.

🛡️ Our Advice to You:
Your health and your lifestyle change over time, and your cover needs to reflect that. Regular medical screenings and early intervention are key to managing health risks—but reviewing your financial portfolio is just as vital.

Don't wait for life's unexpected moments to find out if you are fully protected. Let us help you review your policies to ensure you and your loved ones have the right safety net against today’s leading health risks.

Did you know?🤔👇

At VanWyk & Associates, we have the privilege of having an office footprint right here in Grahamstown / Makhanda, giving us the opportunity to experience the incredible beauty of early mornings in various places across our region. 🌅

Even though a camera can never *truly* do the real-life sight justice, we just had to capture this breathtaking view of the Cathedral.

Swipe between the two images (because the neither really do the actual sight any justice) to watch the morning sky shift from a deep, dramatic amber to a bright, golden dawn.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do and where we get to do it.

📊 Did you know? 87% of people under the age of 45 do not have severe illness cover.

​We often think we are invincible in our youth, but the reality is that sudden health challenges can happen at any age.

While you may focus on physical recovery, the financial recovery can be just as daunting.

​🏥 Can you afford the time off to recover?

​A severe illness policy might save you from a "financial factory reset."

This protection isn't just about covering medical bills; it's about safeguarding your savings, paying your monthly expenses while you cannot work, and giving you the peace of mind to focus on getting better.

​Don't leave your financial future to chance. Get professional, personalized advice to find the right protection for you.

​Reach out to and let's structure a plan that secures your future.

Did you know? 🤔

When life throws an unexpected curveball, it doesn’t care if you're in the middle of your peak earning years. In fact, standard industry data shows that a massive chunk of severe illness and disability claims happen when we least expect it—right when our families and businesses depend on us the most.

At Van Wyk and Associates, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all, big-city corporate templates.

We bring that genuine 'Small Town Feel' — where we actually take the time to know your family, your business, and your story—backed by 'Big City Skill' to build a robust, waterproof financial architecture around what matters most to you.

Whether it is Life, Disability, Severe Illness, Business Cover, or Short Term Insurance, we’ve got your back.
