13 Oct 2025 Sanlam Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) LtdSanlam Collective Investments: ZAR 10.6m for breaches of anti-money laundering duties South AfricaCustomer due diligence €527,691

An inspection in March 2024 showed that the manager of collective investment schemes was not applying its risk management and compliance programme (RMCP) effectively, particularly when risk-rating clients, that the programme had substantive gaps, that some clients and their beneficial owners had not been adequately identified and verified, and that the required ongoing and enhanced due diligence was missing. Alongside a directive to remediate and a caution, a penalty of 10.6 million ZAR was imposed, of which 3.6 million ZAR is conditionally suspended for two years; earlier contraventions of other laws were taken into account, including an enforceable undertaking and a penalty under the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act (CISCA). The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.

What organisations can take from it

Large group companies are held to higher standards – a documented programme without risk rating in practice does not protect against substantial penalties.
