Markus Jooste, the man at the helm of what has probably been South Africa’s biggest corporate scandal, has succeeded in reducing his insider trading fine from a whopping R161.6-million to R20-million.

that the reason for such a massive deduction in Markus Jooste’s fine was due to the Financial Sector Tribunal ordering that a different date be used to calculate the amount of the financial loss that was avoided as a result of the insider tip.

The Tribunal also ruled that the text message to Swiegelaar should not be considered insider trading as it accepted Jooste’s submission that this was a “pocket dial” and the message was never meant to go to Swiegelaar. The Financial Markets Act prohibits an insider from tipping another person to deal in securities which the inside information relates to. Jooste has to cough up the R20-million by 6 January 2023.
