The Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (Asisa) has taken note of the most recent attempt by the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR) to once again draw Asisa members into the prescription debate.

The Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) has taken note of the most recent attempt by the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR) to once again draw ASISA members into the prescription debate.

Leon Campher, CEO of ASISA, says this seems to be a deliberate endeavor by the IRR to stir up panic amongst South African investors during a time when calm and rationality is needed more than ever.

Campher points out that in recent months the various social partners of the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac), namely government, labour, business and community, tabled their economic recovery plans and not a single one mentioned the prescription of assets as a possible solution.
