Makole Mupita, co-founder and fund principal at Mahlako Financial Services has penned an article where she says that South Africa has enough savings to finance much of the infrastructure development it requires, which is why there is a growing debate about how the retirement savings industry can play a bigger role in financing economic growth.

She spoke to Thami Ngubeni to share her thoughts.
