Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has appointed Farzana Badat and Katherine Gibson as deputy commissioners of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
The appointments are for a period of five years. The FSCA is the market conduct regulator of financial institutions in the country.

Badat is based in Switzerland where she is working as a senior policy adviser at the International Association for Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) responsible for conduct risk, financial technology and digital transformation.
Gibson has been a member of the transitional management committee of the FSCA since its establishment on April 1 2018. She has also worked at the National Treasury as part of the team that spearheaded the “Twin Peaks” reform process, including the Financial Sector Regulation Act.
