I have no doubt that when Treasury technical adviser and head of SA’s Financial Action Task Force (FATF) delegation Ismail Momoniat, aka Momo, took on the task of getting SA off the FATF greylist he put together a team of people who assisted him in climbing this mountain. But without Momoniat’s don’t-take-no-for-an-answer style of leadership SA would still be on that list. Nor was this simply a matter of smooth-talking a bunch of our international peers.
