Johannesburg – Friday, 11 July 2025 – S3 is excited to introduce The Insurance Apprentice on Thursdays at 19:00, starting 17 July 2025, proudly headlined by Sasria SOC Ltd.
Hosted by a dynamic media personality, Pabi Moloi, the series will feature eight high-impact episodes packed with real-world insurance challenges.
The Insurance Apprentice is a prestigious reality-style competition designed to identify and celebrate emerging talent in the insurance industry, while dispelling common misconceptions and fostering leadership.
Filmed over one week, ten contestants will face a series of real-world challenges, eliminations, and expert guidance, showcasing their skills, knowledge, and innovation as they compete for the coveted title of The Insurance Apprentice.
The Insurance Apprentice judges Simon Coleman, the CEO of The Liability Company, with 30 years of experience in the insurance industry as a liability specialist and Nox Dlamini, Co-Founder of BYOR Insurance & Risk Specialists will guide the contestants through the weekly challenges.
The show is more than just a competition, as it serves to attract new talent, highlight the diverse opportunities within the sector, and educate audiences on the vital role insurance plays, far beyond call centers and funeral policies.

Each episode gives me the chance to engage with dynamic young professionals who are not only passionate about the insurance industry but are also shaping its future. What makes this show so special is how it brings important topics to life in a way that’s accessible, insightful, and real. Inspired by the resilience, intelligence, and drive of the contestants, I learn as much as I guide. It’s a privilege to be part of a platform that educates, elevates, and celebrates the industry while spotlighting emerging talent. I’m enjoying every moment of this journey and proud to be telling these stories.”
