Another economic blunder on the cards
Some years ago the Financial Services Board (FSB) announced that it had “deregistered” over 15,900 financial service providers
(For “deregistered” read “made redundant, fired, dismissed, debarred”…)
The FSB did not specify race, but how much are you willing to bet that many of those deregistered were emerging black brokers and advisors?
Now the proposed “Twin Peaks” (or Financial Sector Regulation Bill) will further undermine transformation in South Africa
In addition, it will create an enormous bureaucracy with reams of red tape
But that's not all: It will cost an estimated R4,8 BILLION per year, every year
That’s equivalent to 500,000 RDP houses or 5,000 new clinics per year, every year
South Africa cannot afford another economic blunder...
Understanding what is proposed and that it has zero measurable benefits is worth 60 minutes of your time
