PlatinumShield Insurance Group - Brokerage Officially Launched: A New Era of Protection and Empowerment Begins
Gaborone, Botswana – 30th June 2025
The insurance landscape in Botswana welcomed a bold new player with the official launch of PlatinumShield Insurance Group - Brokerage on Monday, 30th June 2025. The prestigious event, held in Gaborone, was marked by celebration, reflection, and optimism for the future of the insurance industry.
At the heart of the launch was Ms. Keneetswe Tshomane, the Founder and CEO of PlatinumShield, who delivered a powerful and emotional address. In her speech, she reflected on her journey, one that began far from insurance. Despite studying in a completely different field, Keneetswe's passion for people led her to the insurance sector, where she steadily rose through the ranks. Her determination and unwavering work ethic paved the way for her to not only thrive in the industry but to eventually establish her own company — a vision born out of a desire to serve with integrity and to bring modern, customer-first solutions to the market.
“Today marks the dawn of a bold new journey—not just for us as an organization, but for every individual and family whose future we aim to protect.” Ms Tshomane said.
The event was further enhanced by insightful addresses delivered by esteemed leaders within the insurance industry:
Mr. Moletlanyi Tshosa, Head of Retail at Hollard Insurance, commended the bold step taken by Ms Keneetswe and emphasized the importance of innovation and customer engagement in building a sustainable insurance business in today’s dynamic market.
Mr. Sithando Kgosiyang, Senior Sales Manager at Botswana Life Insurance Limited, offered encouraging words on leadership and resilience, praising PlatinumShield’s entry as a much-needed breath of fresh air and a sign of growth in the industry.
Mr. Thabo Lejowa, Managing Director at Selemo Leads Generation, highlighted the importance of entrepreneurship, noting that initiatives like PlatinumShield are a clear indication of Botswana’s growing ecosystem of homegrown, transformative businesses.
The launch marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting chapter for both the company and the industry at large. With a strong vision, experienced leadership, and a commitment to excellence, PlatinumShield Insurance Group is set to make a significant impact in the lives of individuals, families, and businesses across Botswana.

PlatinumShield Tombstone Cover Launch
CEO Address – PlatinumShield Insurance
Group Speaker: Ms. Keneetswe Tshomane
Good evening, distinguished guests, partners, and valued clients.
It is truly an honour to stand before you tonight as we unveil something deeply meaningful, a product that carries both innovation and compassion at its core: The PlatinumShield Tombstone Cover.
When we first envisioned this product, we were moved by a reality we see too often, families doing their best to honour their loved ones, yet struggling with the financial and emotional weight that follows loss.
We wanted to change that. We wanted to bring relief and order to one of life’s most sensitive moments.
The Tombstone Cover was born from that desire; to help families celebrate the lives of those they love with dignity and peace of mind. It is more than an insurance policy. It is a promise; that remembrance will never be compromised by financial strain.
At PlatinumShield Insurance Group, our purpose is clear: to innovate where it truly matters. We exist to bring comfort and reliability to the people we serve.
This product represents the next step in that mission, combining cultural value, financial security, and heartfelt service.
And tonight, I would like to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank our underwriting partners, Westlife Insurance Botswana.
Your agility, your responsiveness, and your commitment to excellence are what truly set you apart.
You have demonstrated what partnership should look like; working with speed and precision to bring forward a solution that meets real client needs.
That level of service is what clients need most: service that shows up and delivers when it matters the most.
Together, PlatinumShield and Westlife are redefining what it means to prepare, not for loss, but for love and dignity.
We are setting a new benchmark in dignified farewell solutions built on innovation and compassion.
As we celebrate this launch tonight, may we be reminded that to honor life is to go beyond goodbye.
It is to ensure that love leaves a mark, one engraved not just in stone, but in the hearts of those who remain.
Thank you for being part of this historic evening.
Thank you for believing in PlatinumShield.
And thank you, WestLife Insurance Botswana, for walking this journey with agility and purpose.
Here’s to honoring life — beyond goodbye.
