To: Kobus Geldenhuys, CEO SDL Benefit Services From: Hester Boshoff, Brakpan Claim HJ(Jako) van der Wath IRM 258596 I herby wish to thank and compliment SDL on the speedy process in which my son’s claim was handled. After being hit by a motorist, Jako was admitted for 30 days in hospital, and is currently temporary disabled due to a broken leg. According to my knowledge, the claim would have taken 6-8 weeks to be paid out, but to my surprise, after submitting all the required documentation, the hospital benefit was paid out after only 4 weeks! It is very assuring to know that SDL is living up to its promise – "Creating a better lifestyle for Families", not only with the network and income, but also when claims arises. Since this was my first claim with SDL, I can only look forward to the next claim without any doubts and worries. A very warm thank you to yourself, Phillip and Riedwaan in the manner in which you helped me with this claim, and also to the fact that the PHI claim is also already approved, as being confirmed by Phillip. Thank you. Hester

Dear Mr. Kobus
RE: Letter of Appreciation
I, Mavis Z. Manana, wish to wholeheartedly thank you for the touching support you have given to my whole family.
I tearfully wonder what I would do without your help. My children manage to eat something daily because of you Mr. Kobus. Our whole lives depend on you. Even though none of my supportive children are employed, but that gap is closed completely.
May the Lord God bless you and give you countless years to live so that his name may be glorified through you.
We love you with all our hearts.
Yours faithfully
Mavis Manana

Beste Kobus
Ek wil net graag langs hierdie weg my opregte DANK en waardering uitspreek met die profesionele en familieagtige behandeling wat aan my betoon is met die afsterwe van my vrou Ina op die 20ste van Februarie.
Met so iets wat met 'n mens gebeur is jy heeltemal van koers af en weet nie altyd wat te doen staan nie, want dit is 'n emosionele tyd in 'n persoon se lewe en ek het na die begrafnis eers alle dokumente aan SDL oorhandig en binne 'n kwessie van 8 ure was die fondse in my rekening betaal en kon ek alle verpligtinge van die begrafnis onmiddelik afhandel...
Ek wil ook net noem dat ek nie een enkele persoon kan uitsonder nie en kan net vir alle personeel my opregte dank en waardering uitspreek. Dit is waarlik nie 'n besigheid nie maar 'n Familie saak. Nogmaals my opregte dank aan ieder en elkeen.

Hi Kobus
Ek neem nou maar die vrymoedigheid om jou uit die bloute te kontak. Ek het so 5 weke gelede n lid geword van SDL hier in PE (deur n kontak en toe spesifiek nadat ek met Craig Prentice gepraat het). Dit klink seker snaaks, maar ek wil jou graag bedank vir die geleentheid wat jy aan ons beskikbaar gestel het.
Alhoewel my sdl besigheid nou maar eers begin, kan ek duidelik die potensiaal daarin sien vir myself, my familie, maar ook ander mense om my. Ek was oor die afgelope 10 jaar baie bevoorreg om goeie leer ervaringe, ondervinding en redelik goeie inkomste uit my eie klein besighede te kon maak, waarmee ek in die toekoms nog meer wil vermag. Alhoewel ek dus bloot n lid is en nie n senior lid, gaan ek tog nou saamwerk met n nuwe bemarker hier in PE (Barry Delport). My broer, Grant, het ook aangesluit (hy is in Bloemfontein) en gaan daar op n deeltydse basis ook bemark.
Ek hoop om jou en baie ander persone betrokke by sdl nog in die toekoms te ontmoet.
Namens Grant, myself, en ook my familie, dankie – ek glo ons gaan baie goeie dinge hiermee regkry.
Groete
Craig

Dear fellow SDL friends
When first approached by a SDL representative my reaction was one of skepticism since I am a very cautious person, but because it was part of a school funding project I decided to join, taking into consideration that the amount involved was very small and the benefits seemed comforting. I still had my doubts… not knowing what SDL would mean to me!
Saturday night 29 November 2008 was a night that I will always remember. At about 21h20 we were chatting in the kitchen when my little girl of 23 months started crying hysterically. Upon picking her up I discovered that a spider had fallen from her pants. My husband discovered a bite mark on her leg but failed to calm her down. We managed to catch the spider and tried to phone our GP. He was not available. After having made several calls in order to find help while my baby was screaming frantically, my husband phoned the Middelburg Hospital. They were prepared to take her in for observation but there was no doctor available until the next morning. This was the last option and we decided to drive the 120km to Middelburg Hospital. When I put my personal belongings in my handbag I discovered my children’s birth certificates were lying on top of my yellow copy of my SDL subscription. I phoned immediately. By now my family was already in the car and my husband was anxious to leave!
I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly voice and instant help I received that time of the night. The people at NetCare 911 immediately put me at ease and assured me that they would be able to help. The paramedic was prepared to send a helicopter to fetch her should it be an emergency. I was so relieved!
I was finally able to explain everything to the paramedic, who informed me about the symptoms and advised me regarding treatment. What a friendly and well mannered guy!
Thank you SDL and NetCare 911 for outstanding service! You saved us a trip to Middelburg and numerous doctor’s and hospital bills.
I am definitely without a doubt the happiest SDL member and proud to be one!

Hi there. Firstly well done on an outstanding rally that has left everyone impressed. It was really great to see all of you guys once again and to hear that progress is happening.
The guys are very exited about the Achievers package and i know that when the rest of the guys hear the good news, it should get them going.
I am very impressed by your attitude in the way that you have always undertaken to better SDL as a company. I am very proud to tell everyone that i am an SDL man because it is backed by men and woman of real integrity and people of their word.
Well done, you are a real inspiration and an example to both myself and Marlene. As i said before; 2008 was great, but 2009 will be FINE, and it's yours and mine.
Regards, Craig Prentice

I want to thank the founder of SDL because if it was not for him the lifestyle of my family would have never changed, even the people who knew us can see that we have changed.
One of the things that has changed is that, I really like to take my family out. That was normal for them, but I had to tell them the budget that they have to spend on before we leave our home, but now, because of SDL I can take my family for an outing without discussing the budget with them, what they have to do is to enjoy themselves and not to memorize the budget.
Thanks
From Ben Tlali (Master Member).

Geagte Kobus
Hiermee wil ek net dankie sê vir 'n besigheid soos SDL wat werklik 'n finansiële voertuig vir ons almal is.
My man het in die woonstel geval en sy heup gebreek waarna hy 11 dae in die hospitaal was. Na sy ontslag het ek die nodige vorms vir die ongeluks - hospitaal eis na Johan Benadé by die SDL kantoor in Pretoria gestuur.
Met sy vriendelike hulp het hy alle dokumentasie hanteer en na die korrekte adres gekanaliseer. Die eis is flink hanteer en die gelde is in my rekening inbetaal waarna ek deur SDL per SMS in kennis gestel was.
Nagmaals baie, baie dankie!

SDL Hoofkantoor
Ek wil net baie dankie sê vir julle behulpsaamheid met die eis wat ek gehad het.
Al die personeel met wie ek gepraat het, het deurentyd professioneel opgetree en presies vir my gesê wat om te doen. Omdat dit die eerste keer was wat ek 'n eis gehad het, weet 'n mens nie altyd wat die regte prosedure is nie. En van Sophia, Belinda en Riedwaan kan ek net met lof praat.
My man het geval en sy enkel gebreek en moes geopereer word om skroewe in te sit omdat die enkel aan beide kante gebreek het. Hy was in die hospitaal vir 6 dae. Hy het die Donderdag uit die hospital gekom en die Vrydag het ek vir SDL gebel om uit te vind of ek kan eis. Die antwoord was ja, en nadat ek met Riedwaan gepraat het en hy vir my gesê wat om te doen, en ek my brief gepos het, was dit net een week tot ek my geld in my bank gehad het. Ons almal weet hoe lank kan die pos vat.
Ek wil van die geleentheid gebruik maak om dankie te sê vir julle professionele personeel en die flinke diens wat ek ontvang het. Julle kan trots wees op julle personeel wat 'n goeie beeld na buite uitstuur.
Baie dankieGroete
