SETSETSE RESPONDS TO STANFIELD’S CLAIMS

Setsetse did not deny Stanfield’s allegations about the life cover. However, he said that it was an agreement he had made with his late friend.

“Me and Oupa had what we call a buy and sell insurance. So basically it is to cover a director in terms of death and the money is to be paid out to the family for the shares of the business. In other words, if I don’t wake up tomorrow, insurance will cover my shares and it will pay to my wife instead of her saying she is coming to work at Ayepyep,” Setsetse explain.

Investopedia describes business life insurance or “key person insurance” as a life insurance policy that a company purchases on the life of an owner, a top executive, or another individual considered critical to the business. The insurance offers a financial cushion if the sudden loss of a certain individual would profoundly negatively affect the company’s operations.
