LISTEN: Debt Rescue SA urge South Africans not to touch their Pension Funds before retirement
--:--
The two-pot retirement system has officially taken effect.
Both the Pension Funds Amendment Act and Revenue Law Amendment Act provide for pension fund members to access a portion of their funds before retirement.
The legislation creates a savings pot for a third of the funds, while the other two-thirds will be kept in the second pot for retirement.
Neil Roets from Debt Rescue SA says South Africans do not understand and appreciate the consequences associated with the two-pot system.
