Panel 3:The Worker at the Centre

The final panel of the day brought together Khumbulani Moyo, Mongezi Ngcobo, Bryan Shuping, Evette Vanrenen and Eddie Strydom for a meaningful discussion on what it truly means to put retirement fund members first.

The conversation reinforced that every decision within the retirement ecosystem should be guided by one central question: Is the member better off because of the choices we are making? Panellists highlighted the need for stronger collaboration between employers, trustees, administrators and regulators, while emphasising that financial education, a culture of saving and proactive governance are essential to improving member outcomes.

Discussions also explored the importance of understanding members' needs from day one, strengthening accountability across the industry and ensuring that retirement funds deliver meaningful impact throughout a member's working life and beyond.

Panel 2 | Regulation: From Rules to Member Protection

The conversation continued with an insightful discussion featuring Rodney Kekana, Anne-Marie D'Alton, Michelle David, Penny Spentzouris and Jan Mahlangu, who explored how regulation can move beyond compliance to better protect retirement fund members.

The panellists highlighted the importance of accountability, proactive governance and stronger collaboration between trustees, employers, regulators and fund administrators. Discussions emphasised that non-compliance has real consequences for members, making timely reporting, transparent communication and decisive action essential to safeguarding retirement outcomes.

As Jan Mahlangu concluded, the path to stronger member protection begins with open dialogue and collective problem-solving: "Tell us what your problem is, and we can work together to sort out the problem and reach common ground."

Delivering the keynote address on "Legacy, Collaboration and the Industry We Must Build," Jan Mahlangu challenged leaders to create a future that is shaped through inclusion, partnership and shared responsibility.

Addressing Salt EB Chairperson Eddie Strydom and the broader team, he shared a powerful message on the importance of building a legacy that empowers future generations.

"Eddie and your team, be inclusive in nature so you may see another 70th anniversary, so those in the future will say you did not decide for us but decided with us. Happy 70th anniversary."

His words served as a timely reminder that lasting impact is built by bringing people together and ensuring every voice has a place at the table.
