The audience is bound to find delight in the interesting surprises set in store for The Insurance Apprentice 2020, episode two.

For or against
Episode two, task two of The Insurance Apprentice, sponsored by Aon South Africa, sees a hot debate with some heated audience engagement as the apprentices are tasked by Judge Simon Colman, Executive Head of Digital Distribution at SHA Risk Specialists, Judge Nadia Starr, Chief Executive Officer at Inseta and guest Judge Terence Williams, Chief Executive Officer at Aon South Africa with presenting their argument in favour of, or against, the motion of the topic 'increasing the retirement age is good for the sustainability of the insurance industry'.

The affirmative team, consisting of Nabeelah Maharaj (Santam), Sebastian Reddy (Old Mutual Insure), Vicky Sebothoma (Aon Re Africa) and Yaseen Essop (RBS Insurance Brokers), debated FOR an increased retirement age and the negative team consisting of Amogelang Kgaladi (FNB Insure), JP Ellis (Constantia Insurance), Kanchaal Mahabeer (Power Brokers & Financial Services), Memory Zimba (Centriq) and Siphamandla Dube (Hollard), debated AGAINST an increased retirement age.

Which team won the debate? Which apprentice/s fell victim to elimination?
