post-title

On 16 October 2025, the annual Finance Indaba - Africa’s biggest conference and finance expo - will bring together over 3,000 finance professionals.

Widely regarded as the best finance conference in Africa, the annual Finance Indaba is the biggest gathering of finance professionals in the southern hemisphere.

Taking place at the Sandton Convention Centre, in Johannesburg, and attracting over 3,000 attendees, the 2025 indaba promises world-class speakers, live interactive sessions and a comprehensive view of the latest tools, technologies and strategies empowering finance teams to thrive in the business landscape.

Keynote speaker at the 2024 Finance Indaba Raisibe Morathi, Vodacom Group CFO, said, “I absolutely support and love what the finance team and CFO South Africa are doing here.”

She added that the Finance Indaba is a platform that is able to gather crowds of people in the finance sector and people that are interested in finances to network and share knowledge.

“As professionals one thing that makes one grow is to be able to be at the right place at the right time and this is the place. I love the work that CFO South Africa does and this conference is just one of those landmark activities and I really support it!” she said.

Bothwell Mazarura, the CFO at Kumba Iron Ore, noted that for him, the Indaba is all about sitting next to different CFOs from different organisations and industries and learning from them.

“I get to hear some of their experiences and learn from them. I’ve actually discovered that, although we come from different industries with different experiences, there is a lot in common that we have and it’s always such a good learning experience,” he said.

This premier gathering has been Africa’s leading finance conference since its inception in 2016. It features more than 100 world class speakers and at least 75 exhibitors.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn and shape the future of finance.
