Pharmacy group Dis-Chem, is considering a stake in an insurance business that aims to cater for people not historically covered by the private health-care sector.
The group says because of the acquisition it scraped dividends in the interim period.
It reported a 16 percent rise in profit despite a challenging trading and economic environment.
Dischem says it was hit by a change in trading hours during the lockdown, significantly reduced weekend trading, and a noticeable downturn in impulse buying.
It says its stepping into health-care insurance as individuals and companies are now more prepared than ever to spend on health care and mental health.
