The Two-Pot retirement system and its implications: Stefan Fouche

After consultations, Treasury has finally published proposed new legislation that seeks to establish a two-pot retirement system in South Africa. If this legislation is passed, South Africans will be able to access one-third of their retirement savings throughout their career, while two-thirds will only become accessible on retirement. The reform allegedly is meant to prevent South Africans from cashing out their retirement savings when they resign. The legislation notes 1 March 2023 as a starting date for the new regulations and Interested parties have until 29 August to submit comments to Treasury.
