PROGRESS TOWARDS FATF GREYLISTING REMOVAL @KASIBC_NEWS
The African National Congress (ANC) welcomes the significant progress made by the South African government in addressing the 22 action items identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) since South Africa was greylisted in 2023. This development follows the FATF’s positive report confirming that South Africa has substantially completed its action plan and now qualifies for an on-site assessment.
This assessment will verify the implementation of reforms in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT), and assess the country’s sustained political commitment to financial system integrity and transparency.
This is a major milestone for South Africa, both domestically and internationally. It strengthens the credibility of our financial system and contributes to the global and national fight against illicit financial flows, terrorism financing, and the legacy of state capture.
The ANC commends the sterling work and collaborative effort of the National Treasury, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), the South African Police Service (SAPS), and the State Security Agency (SSA) in realising this achievement.
This progress not only enhances investor confidence but also affirms South Africa’s role as a serious and responsible global actor in combatting financial crimes and upholding democratic governance. As the ANC, we reaffirm our commitment to building a capable, ethical, and developmental state.
We will continue to support government efforts to fully comply with global standards, ensuring that the country is permanently removed from the greylist and that our financial systems are protected from abuse.
This is a victory for good governance, institutional renewal, and the people of South Africa.
