An online gala event was held on the 30th July 2020 by the Institute of Retirement Funds Africa (IRFA) to acknowledge the excellence reflected in the African Retirement Sector.
In opening the event the IRFA President Enos Ngutshane welcomed participants saying “ our awards are being presented today in this format as COVID-19 has changed our engagement platforms for the foreseeable future - we certainly did not want to wait to acknowledge the excellence reflected by our entrants in this year’s programme”.
The awards function, hosted by the Programme Champion and IRFA Vice-President Anthony Williams, can be viewed on YouTube here...
