LegalWise | Maponya Mall

LegalWise dates back to the late 1970s. It was then that the founder Zak Crafford, a Legal Aid employee at the time, was paid a visit by a humble South African thanking him for his assistance on a case. He thanked him by handing him an envelope carrying R10. The man offered to continue paying the founder R10 every month if he agreed to provide him with legal assistance for the rest of his life. Although the innocent gesture could not be accepted, it certainly highlighted a significant need in society to provide legal protection. Legal protection insurance has existed since the early 1900s in Europe and arose due to various long and complicated legal disputes experienced by the public. Why LegalWise? Since our founding in 1984 a number of companies (for example banks, insurance companies, clothing retailers and mobile networks), have launched products that offer everything from free legal advice to legal cover. With so many choices available, from so many different companies, it’s often confusing to know whether or not you are getting the best value for your hard-earned money. So, what makes LegalWise different? Firstly, we’re a specialist. Protecting the legal rights of our Members is not a small part of what we do, it’s all that we do. We don’t offer clothes or airtime and data or cheque and savings accounts. We don’t offer other forms of insurance, like motor and household insurance. We have a single-minded purpose, enabling you to enforce and defend your rights.
