President Ramaphosa signs Pension Funds Amendment Bill

# President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Pension Funds Amendment Bill, enabling the two-pot retirement system to bolster retirement savings. The new law, effective from 1 September 2024, allows members to withdraw from a savings component without resigning. This reform splits contributions into savings and retirement components, with withdrawals taxed at marginal rates, ensuring preserved retirement funds until retirement.
