Jersey Finance Strengthens Connections in Johannesburg, South Africa

This week, we sponsored the STEP South Africa Conference, which took place on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 April at Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg. Represented by Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa – Business Development Consultant – Africa, the event focussed on providing advice in a world in disarray. The conference covered topical, in-depth content, including a detailed look at the tax consequences of a Basic Income Grant, the effect of Russian sanctions on the South African adviser and the obligations of a trustee in turbulent markets.

Following the conference, we hosted an exclusive networking event titled ‘Beyond the Sensationalism, Africa’s Value Defined’. Guests heard a welcome address from Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa and a thought-provoking keynote address from leading economist, Nema Ramkhelawan-Bhana, Co-Head of Institutional Sales at Rand Merchant Bank, which left guests thinking ‘despite its challenges, Africa is full of opportunities – Africa is open  for business’.
