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.

What Our People Say

Shannon Trope
Chief Operating Officer
"From day one I knew we were not just building another insurance company. We are building something that challenges the norm and puts people at the centre of everything we do.
We foster a culture where every voice matters and every idea has potential. This is a place where energy counts, bold thinking is celebrated, and the right idea can come from anywhere and the person behind it is trusted to run with it.
This is not the kind of company where decisions sit in boardrooms for months. We move with pace and with intention. Our leadership is accessible. Our people are empowered. And our partners don’t have to push through layers to get things done because we move with them, not around them.
We are building a business with heart and backbone."
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."
Neo Botjie
Senior Call Centre Manager
"With years in the trenches of call centre management, I have learned that leadership is about more than targets and processes, it’s about people. At Dis‑Chem Life, I’m privileged to lead a team that brings real passion and commitment to every call.
Our work isn’t easy. We handle complex situations, anxious clients, and tough questions but what sets us apart is how we show up. We push boundaries, raise the bar, and hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards. Because when it comes to our customers, good enough isn’t good enough.
I have seen firsthand how investing in our people, giving them the tools, trust, and space to grow -Turns good teams into great ones."
