Legacy is proud to be a business partner of Santam and would like to congratulate them on their 100thyear celebration.
On 28 March 1918 the South African National Trust and Assurance Company Limited and Suid‑Afrikaanse Nasionale Trust- en Assuransiemaatskappij Beperk was registered, and has become the household name known as Santam.
A small group of Afrikaners and a Scotsman got together in the Royal Hotel in Cape Town. With a shared dream, to found an insurance company that would give South Africans access to the economy. Santam opened its doors for business on 1 May 1918 at 10 Burg Street in the Cape Town CBD.
100 Years later Santam grew into South Africa’s largest short-term insurer and one of the country’s top-performing listed companies that has investments and clients in 33 countries outside South Africa, including Namibia, Zimbabwe, Morocco, India and Malaysia.
As from Legacy’s existence in 2003, we decided to sign a partnership with Santam as our values and visions of how we do business are the same – with integrity, passion, humanity, innovation and excellence.

Have you checked your insurance renewal this year?
- Have you checked if your insurance contract is still up to date and relevant? Avoid being caught empty handed.
- Remember it is your duty to insure your items for their correct values. Avoid being under insured. Make sure that you read your policy on under-insurance and the application of average.
- Having an accident is extremely stressful. Keep your insurer’s & roadside assistance numbers on you at all times. They can help you when you need it most.
- You will need to prove the existence and value of any item you claim. Keep invoices, valuation certificate and receipts in a safe place.

“Indian Street Festival”
Robert Gwelo Goodman (1871-1939)
Size: 36cm x 50cm
Many Indian states and regions have local festivals prevalent from religious and linguistic culture and traditions. Gwelo enthusiastically captured the zeal and energy of such a festival. As can be seen in this painting, titled “Indian Street Festival”, Gwelo portrayed his surroundings with great sincerity and meticulous detail.
The composition consists of four distinct horizontal planes. The foreground is mostly covered in the shade of surrounding trees, with a play of the sun’s rays trickling through the leaves onto the street’s surface. Here it can already be appreciated why the artist was later described by many writers as a master of sunshine. The centre of attention, is the busy and energetic scene of the festival that looks as though it is being celebrated with joy and enthusiasm. A large gathering of people is loosely and informally strung across a horizontal rectangle in the middle of the composition. The women are wearing traditional colourful Sari’s, each one being unique, elaborately decorating the ornamental street scene. In the background of the crowd, an Indian elephant is making its way through the crowd with two passengers on its back. The street plane that extends beyond the frame of the picture, is enclosed within the parameters of a great city wall depicting a staircase ascending to a rising temple that fill the view of the horizon. Above the skyline of the city wall an intensely luminous azure blue sky is juxtaposed against the sandstone coloured walls, creating a striking impression. The large Bodhi tree in the far right of the composition gracefully tower towards the sky. The horizontal shapes that are formed with the street plane and city wall communicates peace and passiveness, creating a masterful contrast with the excitement and energy brought on by the opulent colours and textures of the street festival.
