Iam just going to skip on outsurance..cant believe that they are so ruthless and the video is sad but we see on one side ..so thanks but no thanks to oursurance ..hope the fix this wrong
It is absolutely unacceptable that Oursurance allow Katlego back on air as if this debacle never occurred. We understand that he worked hard to get where he is and that he is good at what he does but what he has done is not ok and by keeping him as an ambassador, we're telling society its ok and acceptable to cheat and abuse women. South Africa has numerous campaigns to fight against GBE and here we are trying to fight for one of the culprits. Its not sensible. People who are public figures are expected to uphold a calibre that is higher than the norm as not only do they become famous and create a fan base but they also become a role model to many and this is not something we can overlook or ignore in this regard. Let those who want to move their insurance do so, they not losing Katlego they losing a good service. It must be noted that nobody is irreplaceable.
Hi Jay, good analysis. However, I think that the dynamics are shifting a bit. There are numerous examples of bigger global brands opting to stick with the celebrities / influencers. We have seen the likes of Nike standing by Colin Kaepernick ( after he took the he "took knee" during the US national anthem and revoked by POTUS =. Nike went as far as doing the 'Dream Crazy' advert starring Kaepernick, which won an Emmy award. At late, the #bringbackKatlego online petition gaining momentum (so far 500,000 signatures just in two days of the campaign) with fans literally demanding both the SABC and Outsurance to reconsider their decisions and return Kat back on air and return the ads.
Sad situation but definitely one brands can learn from, people dont buy into the brand, they buy into what the brand represents!!!....and right now, Kathlego does not represent that
I'm confused. Do Outsurance really think that the public assume everyone in their ads are squeeky clean? It would show a lot more positive elements about Outsurance's values if they reinstated Katlego and show resolve and forgiveness as MOST people in SA do. We don't just QUIT on each other. This is not something they should even be involved in anyway, it was just the disgruntled girlfriend that decided to shame the poor man publically. We do not know the whole story nor should we. She and her family could simply claim anything about KM and the public would have believed it. Their "5mins of fame" using Katlego's name is here, so they are abusing it totally! It's simply a private matter between them and indeed also their cute little boy. If she wanted to leave Katlego and claim alimony for having his kid, she should have just done it without shooting herself in the foot by TRYING to tank his career! Katlego is much stronger than this! He will come back even stronger than before and here is a pre-emptive CONGRATS to the brands making the great decision to take him on in the future! PS: Outsurance would probably JUMP onto the chance to have Kim Kardashian as a brand ambassador IF they could afford her... Remember how she got famous? SEX TAPE!! :-)
His wife or girlfriend shouldn't throw their private stuff in the open.... You need to judge her. She didn't think about her actions. Or maybe she wanted his reputation ruin... Don't blame his employers.... See what happens with the hair add at Clicks....they remove the brand from their shelves... His employers just did the same.... Not everyone reason like you.... Everyone is replaceable....
Its got nothing to do with his personal life, thats his job and respect people's personal life, you cant hold him accountable for the situation he is in, im cancelling all my policies and telling all my family to cancel theres as well
So interventions require monitoring, which translates into routine data collection for measurable indicators, data management, data cleaning, data analysis, data visualization and report-writing - and impact evaluation in the event of at-hand baseline data, the latter collected before commencement of the intervention, and which is often neglected.
Nobody is exempt from morals and values. His behavior tarnished his reputation and ruined his career. It’s not the first time it’s happened and it won’t be the last. To those who what to threaten outsurance, you should examine your own morals and values!!
