Sa searching in vain for 22000 accountants
South Africa’s financial management and auditing sector is searching
in vain for over 20,000 qualified accountants, the South African
Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) said today.
The institute said a total of 22,000 accountants were needed
immediately.
It also warned that the situation could worsen in the years ahead.
"The future looks bleak, given especially that economic growth is so
reliant on people in the financial occupations. We are actively seeking
solutions," said SAICA executive president Ignatius Sehoole.
According to the institute, research indicated that South Africa was
in an especially difficult situation and business growth expectations
among the organisations canvassed could be stifled by lack of suitable
qualified candidates, especially black candidates.

Uganda confirms arrests
The South African high commission in Uganda is applying for permission to visit two South Africans held in prison in that country.
South African foreign affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said on Sunday that the commission would provide the two with consular assistance.
Islamic relief workers Mufti Hussain Bhayat and Haroon Saley were reportedly detained early on Monday last week during a stopover at Entebbe International Airport in Kampala.
Uganda’s New Vision online newspaper said they were taken for questioning by a joint anti-terrorism task force.
The Muslim Judicial Council believe they are being subjected to Islam-phobic profiling and the council and the Media Review Network wanted Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils to intervene.
The two work for Crescent of Hope, an Islamic organisation that does charitable and relief work, and had made the stopover in Uganda on their way home to South Africa from Kenya.
Mamoepa said on Sunday that the South African high commission in Uganda had been officially informed by the Ugandan authorities of the arrest of the two, along with two Ugandan nationals. The two Ugandans had since been released. – Sapa
