Join Open Secrets on 24 June 2026 at 6PM at the Homecoming Centre for the fourth

instalment of the Who Owns South Africa investigative series.

Pension funds hold the savings of millions of South Africans and is one of the most

important sectors of South Africa’s economy.

This edition examines South Africa's private pension sector, exploring how pension funds

are governed, administered and invested, and what this reveals about power, inequality and

accountability in the country's financial system.

How pension funds and their assets are governed and invested has profound consequences

for individuals, communities and the broader economy. Yet, like many sectors of South

Africa's economy, the pension fund sector increasingly benefits a small group of financial

services providers, often at the expense of fund members and the wider public.

This conversation will explore who benefits from South Africa's retirement savings and what

this tells us about ownership, wealth and power in the country today.
