The Telkom Foundation

Telkom’s Foundation is dedicated to education and places emphasis on supporting schools, teachers, and learners across the country. Their programs provide academic tuition as well as a range of devices and resources to support the teachers and students. Their program focuses on high school education, post-school support as well as placements that make use of learnerships and internships.

Putting you first

One of Telkom’s core values is to put you, the customer first by ensuring that your needs are met so that you can create the future of your dreams. They also strive to understand your needs and will try time and time to get things right and make sure they offer the products and services that you need.

A Funeral policy worthy of you

Telkom offers four funeral plans and the option of adding extended family members to any of the four plans. Not only are these options affordable but they provide real benefits that will make all the difference during a difficult time.

Telkom offers four funeral plans that can cover just one person who is the policyholder or up to 14 family members.

This funeral policy will pay out a lump sum as per the amount you select when taking the policy out, as well as help you arrange a dignified funeral with the help of Telkom’s burial service partner.

They will help you get the remains transported to the nearest funeral home, buy a coffin and a tombstone as well as provide for necessaries such as airtime and groceries.

Telkom’s Funeral plans:

• Main member
• Main member and children
• Main member and spouse
• Main member, spouse, and children

You can select any of the above four funeral plan options and then choose to add one or more extended family members. Extended family members include parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws.

Cover you can get

You can select R10,000, R20,000, R30,000, R50,000, or R70,000 of cover. This is the amount that you as the policyholder and your spouse will be covered for in the event that either of you passes away.

Features of Telkom’s Funeral policies

All Telkom’s funeral insurance policies offer a double payout in the event of accidental death. This means that if you or your spouse passes away as a result of an accident, the funeral cover amount on your policy will be doubled. The payout will also be made available within 48 hours which means your family doesn’t have to stress or worry about long waiting periods and costly delays.

As long as all the required documents are provided and the required claim forms completed by the beneficiary, Telkom can stick to their end of the deal. Documents include a death certificate, notification of death form, and a certified copy of the deceased’s ID.
