Title
Actuarial Society of South Africa
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- It may be said that actuarial history in South Africa commenced when William Marshall, AIA, arrived in Cape Town in December 1883. The first fully qualified actuary in South Africa of whom there is record was James McGowan, BA, FIA, who became Cape Government Actuary of the former Cape Colony in 1890. The Actuaries' Club of South Africa, comprising 26 members, was established in Cape Town in 1937. In 1948, the Club evolved into the Actuarial Society of South Africa, an event which may be regarded as the profession's coming of age in South Africa.
