United StatesSouth Africa's deputy finance minister, David Masondo, has resigned as chairman of the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), a state-owned entity managing $220 billion in government pensions. The resignation came just days before he was expected to face removal from the position. In his statement, Masondo cited 'careful reflection' and emphasized his decision was made in the interest of South Africa, the stability of the PIC, and the trust of citizens who rely on the institution for their savings. His departure follows ongoing scrutiny of the PIC, which has been under investigation for alleged mismanagement and corruption. The move comes amid broader concerns over governance and accountability within South Africa's financial institutions.
