Bert Chanetsa, the Deputy Executive Officer for Investment Institutions at the Financial Services Board (FSB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Kedibone Dikokwe as the new Head of the Department of Collective Investment Schemes (CIS).
“Ms Dikokwe has a great work ethic and sound understanding of the industry and I look forward to working with her in her new capacity,” said Mr Chanetsa.
Ms Dikokwe holds a B Comm. degree from the University of the North West. She has extensive regulatory experience gained over the 12 years she has been with the FSB. She joined the FSB in the year 2000 as a junior analyst, progressing through the ranks to occupy the position of senior manager with responsibility for the regulation and supervision of CIS managers in 2007. Ms Dikokwe actively participates in the legislative harmonisation initiatives undertaken by the Southern African Developing Community (SADC) through the Committee of Insurance, Securities and Non-Bank Financial Authorities (CISNA). She has represented the FSB on various platforms, with the aim of ensuring the application of the best regulatory practices in South Africa.
“The main challenge of my new job is to ensure that the FSB remains an effective CIS regulator that is able to enforce legislation, develop practical and legal frameworks for business areas, including alternative investment schemes, and maintain professional and yet cordial relations with players in the CIS industry. I am confident that with my competent team, we will meet the objectives we have set for ourselves,” said Ms Dikokwe.
