Sasria executive strategy and underwriting manager Themba Sibiya said the exclusion will also apply to “consequential or indirect losses” in respect of any supply by public utilities that is affected in any way by an electricity blackout. “It also includes any other direct or consequential or indirect losses such as the deterioration of any food or any other items,” Sibiya said.

It further includes claims stemming from any interruption, power surge or suspension when the electricity supply is eventually reconnected or reinstated.On 5 May Sasria executive manager for stakeholder management Muzi Dladla formally retracted the circular and apologised for the confusion “that may have been caused”.
