The future of volunteerism - and the secret to a successful CSI volunteerism programme
Momentum Metropolitan CSI Manager Charlene Lackay outlines the importance of giving back as individuals and how corporates like Momentum Metropolitan empower their employees to make it happen.
Have you ever commended someone who regularly volunteers for charitable causes, only to be met with a suspiciously humble response such as, “Oh no, I get far more out of it than the cause I support!” The implication is that their actions - while perceived by others as selfless - are, in fact, self-motivated.
Sharing Momentum Metropolitan’s annual financial results for the year ended June 2021, the Group’s CEO, Hillie Meyer, reflected on a year of extremes: “Given our strong presence in life insurance through a number of our businesses, Covid-19 had a severe impact on our financial results. However, despite the disruption that Covid-19 brought about, we are pleased that our Group performed very well operationally.
For us, B-BBEE isn’t just about ticking boxes. We are sincere in our reforms and transformation continues to occur at all levels in our organisation, placing emphasis on access for all, growth for all, a home for all our employees and a future for all our stakeholders.

Following the successful acquisition of Momentum Insurance, previously Alexander Forbes Insurance, by Momentum Metropolitan in July 2019, the Group has successfully completed the final step in the process of integrating it with its existing short-term insurance business – Momentum Short-term Insurance.
Momentum Metropolitan Holdings (MMH) announced that it has become the first South African insurance company to be recognised as a supporter of the international Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). It joins 16 supporters in South Africa and more than 1,000 supporters globally in taking action to build a more resilient financial system through climate-related disclosure.
Momentum Metropolitan Holdings will receive limited stock of Covid-19 vaccines at the end of this week. This enables their mass vaccination centres in Sandton and Cape Town to open on Friday 4 June, and their Centurion and Durban centres to open on Monday 7 June. The centres are open to any South African who has registered on EVDS and is directed to the Group’s mass vaccination centres via the system.
