  As an expert in the field, I can tell you that cryptocurrency exchanges in South Africa are regulated by the Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group (IFWG). The IFWG has introduced a regulatory framework that requires crypto exchanges to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. This ensures that exchanges are transparent and secure, and helps prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and fraud. It's important for exchanges to adhere to these regulations to protect users and maintain the integrity of the crypto market in South Africa.
