Background

The CTSE was launched in 2016, with operations beginning in 2017. It was formed from a rebranding of the 4 Africa Exchange (4AX) in response to the high costs and extensive requirements of listing a company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. [3] [2]

The exchange is geared toward small and medium-sized companies with a market capitalization between 25 million and 2 billion rand. [4]
