Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Alliance Insurance will this year mark its 30th anniversary, satisfied that it has remained true to its mission over the years. That is the message from the company\u2019s Public Relations and Communications manager, Limakatso Mokobocho.<\/p>\n

From small beginnings in the early 1990s, Alliance Insurance has now become a behemoth on the Lesotho insurance scene with a strong workforce of 450 people<\/p>\n

Mokobocho says the company has also created hundreds more jobs through its projects. She says the company \u201chas not only contributed towards accessibility of services, but it has also created jobs\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach district has no less than 20 people both staff and sales agents,\u201d Mokobocho says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also a business which focuses on building the economy of Lesotho through business infrastructure development.<\/p>\n

\u201d She says they have built business infrastructure in the two districts of Mokhotlong and Mohale\u2019s Hoek.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only do we have a business centre in Maseru which makes Lesotho an attractive business destination but we also have business centres in districts,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Mokobocho says the shopping centre means that a lot of people are getting employment in the districts while accessing services which would ideally be in big cities.<\/p>\n

She says their shopping centres combined have created up to 200 jobs. \u201cWe are committed to building the economy of Lesotho countrywide, not only in Maseru,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Mokobocho says they have also made it possible for businesses to have facilities which enable them to work. This makes a significant contribution in the fight to create jobs, she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of temporary jobs were created,\u201d she says. Mokobocho says they have over the years managed to build relationships with insurance brokers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work hand-in-hand with them to sell our products,\u201d she says. She says these brokers hired sales agents which has further created jobs for Basotho. She says they have up to 40 brokers.<\/p>\n

Mokobocho says Alliance Insurance prides itself in taking graduates from universities without any experience and train them. She says they equip the youths with the right skills to develop them for the labour market.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of this, we have a very young management,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA young management means things are now moving fast. The young ones are not afraid to take risks. They are also innovative and creative. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the company grows, we are able to employ more people,\u201d she says. Mokobocho says they are also determined to continue supporting community initiatives as much as they can.<\/p>\n

She says they are also looking for opportunities to make a difference and give back to the community. Mokobocho says they sponsor four premier leagues teams, Matlama, Lioli, Linare, and LCS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the first teams in the premier league to have their players on a salary,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the players in these four premier league are on a salary. If a player is a student, the team pays for his school fees,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI perceive this as an initiative to create jobs even for players.<\/p>\n

\u201d She says they are seeking to transform sports in this country to ensure that it is not only a sport but a means to generate an income.<\/p>\n
