Radio broadcasts begin, universities expand, and new gold discoveries on the Witwatersrand bolster the economy. Infrastructure development, including the Hartbeespoort Dam and the establishment of Eskom, drives urbanisation. On 8 May 1925, Afrikaans was officially recognised as one of South Africa’s national languages, reflecting the nation’s evolving identity and cultural diversity.

In 1921, Medihelp concluded a reinsurance agreement with the London Insurance Company, which was later terminated in 1922. This period marked Medihelp’s commitment to ensuring sustainability and growth.
