Fidentia curatorship & resignation of Mr Dines Gihwala

04 July 2014

On 26 June 2014, the FSB received a written resignation from Mr Dines Chandra Manilal Gihwala as a curator of the financial services business of Fidentia Asset Management (Pty) Ltd, Bramber Alternative (Pty) Ltd and Fidentia Holdings (Pty) Ltd (Fidentia). Mr Gihwala was appointed as provisional curator of Fidentia by the Western Cape High Court on 1 February 2007 in terms of the provisions of the Financial Institutions (Protection of Funds) Act, 2001 (FI Act). His appointment was made final on 27 March 2007. As a formality, Mr Gihwala’s appointment must be cancelled by the same Court and the FSB will in due course make application in terms of the provisions of the FI Act for an appropriate order. On the same day that Mr Gihwala tendered his resignation as a Curator of Fidentia the FSB became aware of a decision handed down by the High Court which contained adverse findings against Mr Gihwala.
