This is primarily done to increase awareness on the part of the policy makers and other relevant stakeholders and to innovate possible solutions to such flaws in order to enhance the enforcement of the market-abuse prohibition in South Africa.

In relation to this, the article seeks to explore this and other enforcement-related concerns by, first, taking a closer look at the adequacy of the South African anti-market abuse-enforcement framework with regard to remuneration structures and crisis management. Secondly, the adequacy of the South African anti-market abuse-enforcement framework with regard to management of risk will be discussed.
