Legacy policy exemption in retirement annuities

Cape Argus

May 06, 2025

MEMBERS of pension funds are advised to understand that a legacy policy, any policy in respect of a retirement annuity plan entered into before September 1, 2024, is exempted from the two-component benefit system, according to the pension funds adjudicator, Muvhango Lukhaimane.

- DIEKETSENG MALEKE

She says the two-component pension system, implemented on September 1, 2024, was designed to offer greater flexibility to retirement fund members by splitting contributions into two distinct components.

One-third of the contributions are allocated to a Savings Component, which allows members to make withdrawals before retirement, while the remaining two-thirds go to the Retirement Component, which must be used to purchase a retirement income product upon reaching retirement age.

Recently, Lukhaimane ruled on a complaint from a fund member who was frustrated that the South African Retirement Annuity Fund denied his request to withdraw from his savings component.
