Our story

Shomang Brokers began in 2011 as a short-term insurance broker. With strong experience in finance, risk and insurance, our founder Mosidi Shomang saw a great need for sound advice on managing risk in insurance – and for excellent service.

Today we remain a 100% black woman-owned company, authorised to provide insurance advice.

With our focus on delivering holistic risk and insurance solutions, we were accredited to provide advice on long-term insurance, pension funds and medical aid solutions in 2014.

Through our research into the specialist role of reinsurance in managing risk, we identified an opportunity in an industry dominated by large international firms. We saw that we needed to partner with a global company already operating in this space.

In 2019 we formed a partnership with Aon-Re South Africa, jointly launching Shomang Re.

Shomang Brokers and Shomang Re are part of the Shomang Group: a service-driven risk management and advisory group serving those who pursue excellence every day.

Partners with Aon Re Africa

Aon is a leading provider of insurance and reinsurance broking, risk consulting and employee benefits solutions that are based upon a rich understanding of the business challenges on the continent.

Transformation (specifically Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) forms a pivotal part of Aon’s growth strategy in South Africa. The partnership with the Shomang Group is testament to this commitment and an example of their transformation strategy in action.

The partnership enables Shomang to play a role in the reinsurance broking space where BBEEE players are limited.

  • Facultative reinsurance - Large and complex risks need special, individual consideration. Shomang Re’s facultative reinsurance solutions, together with Aon, help insurers manage exposures that may exceed the insurer’s per-risk capacity. Our team specialises in mining, power, infrastructure development and financial risk, among other fields.

  • Treaty reinsurance - In partnership with Aon, Shomang Re advises, designs and provides automatic reinsurance capacity for clients and insurers to cover homogeneous risk portfolios, for ease of operation and at manageable costs. In this way we improve underwriting results with reduced volatility, so insurers can preserve capital while delivering returns to their shareholders.
