Who is Dis-Chem Life?

We get asked that a lot. The real question is, Who are we becoming?

We could tell you we were once a bold start-up called OneSpark.
That in 2020, we reimagined life insurance from the ground up with AI-driven underwriting, world-first product innovation, and a mission to make protection accessible for every South African.

We could tell you we are backed by global giants like Gen Re, and Guardrisk.

That we won awards for being one of the most innovative life insurers.

That our founders, Greg and Josh, didn’t just build a product they built a movement.

We could tell you that in 2024, we partnered with one of the most trusted names in retail healthcare, Dis-Chem and by 2025, became Dis-Chem Life, merging cutting-edge insurtech with a national footprint of over 295 pharmacies and 400 clinics.

But the real story? It’s who we are now.

We’re a company that moves fast, builds smart, and leads with purpose.

We create with curiosity, test with intensity, and act with heart. We are advisors, technologists, designers, and builders, working together to make life, disability, and funeral cover simpler, smarter, and available to the people who need it most.

Our culture is electric. Our ambition is unmatched. And our mission is personal, to protect the lives of South Africans in ways the industry never has.

We are not just offering jobs we are offering a chance to shape the future of insurance.

One product. One client. One breakthrough at a time.

We are Dis-Chem Life.

Chiedza Mahuku
Product Development Actuary
"Working at Dis-Chem Life has been a turning point in my career, both professionally and personally. As a woman in a male dominated field like actuarial science, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from day one, I felt seen, supported, and encouraged to lead. I have had the chance to work on truly innovative projects, not just improving what already exists, but creating world firsts that are reshaping how we think about insurance and risk. The culture here is one where diverse voices matter, bold ideas are backed, and growth is real. I have not only grown as an actuary, but I have found my confidence here."
Wayne Govinden
Individual Life Team Leader
"I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon, I grew up with hustle. In my world, nothing was handed to me. I had to earn it. I have spent 15 years proving that hard work beats hype and that success is not about luck, it’s about showing up, learning fast, and backing your people.
At Dis‑Chem Life, I have found a place that gets that. We are not just pushing policies we are changing lives, starting with our own teams. I have coached agents who came in doubting themselves and watched them rise.
We lead from the front, and we lift as we climb, Since joining Dis‑Chem Life, I have felt so excited to come to work every single day and that’s because of the culture we have built. It’s more than a job to me; it’s a purpose."
