The dawn of democracy ushered in a new wave of belief; and after 25 years, the once bright eyed, full of life ‘90s kids born into the endless possibilities South Africa has to offer in the new democracy have come full circle to become fully-grown Chartered Accountants, Advocates, Actuaries and Chartered Finance Analysts. Like a phoenix, the group arose from the sweet ashes of this democracy. At some point, the status quo between the haves and the have nots has to change. The vision is to create an institution that will not only drive development and growth for small and medium sized businesses, but finally unlock the access to capital and markets entrepreneurs yearn for, successfully.
