“This paper does not seek to highlight or
explain the perceptions of the financial
sector or those of any other organisation
concerned with combating money laundering;
it rather explores some of the key
issues at the heart of contemporary concerns
about money laundering and considers
them as they relate to Southern
Africa. In particular, the paper discusses:
current trends of money laundering activity in the region; measures to combat money laundering and the impact expected of them in the light of the challenge; and the medium-term prognosis for money laundering
in the region (will we become a ‘shining example’, or will we be further down the pit?). It concludes with a prècis of factors that are key to the development of a regional strategy to combat money laundering comprehensively.”
