Dear ARINSA Family,


There’s been widespread anxiety – and no doubt fear, following Monday's announcement by the President   to lockdown South Africa until 16 April 2020. Around the world, the coronavirus pandemic has turned our lives upside down.

As a result, people are increasingly weary, anxious, uncertain and perhaps even stressed.  We at ARINSA remain available to help you as best as we can during this challenging season.  

As circumstances quickly evolved here in South Africa we have made the transition for our team to work from their respective homes as of Monday, 23 March 2020.  Our office will be closed during the lockdown period HOWEVER you will still be able to reach us by phone via WhatsApp as you always have. We are available to answer your calls and remain committed to assist where ever possible.

We don’t dispute that the situation is less than ideal – but we’re grateful that technology is allowing us to remain connected and effective throughout this crisis.

To this end, we have opened up ARINSA Community a special page on our website which has been populated with relevant articles, resources and broadcasts which can be helpful during the next few weeks. Click here to check it out now.
