The Western Cape regional office of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) is relocating to new premises. The office, previously located at Thibault Square, Standard Bank Building in Long Street, Cape Town, will start operating from the Buitengracht Centre at 125 Buitengracht Street from Thursday.
The GEPF is Africa’s largest pension fund with more than
1.2 million active members and over 473 000 pensioners and beneficiaries. It is
a defined benefit fund that manages pensions and related benefits on behalf of
government employees that currently boast assets worth more than R2.09
trillion.
‘’The new premises
have a much bigger working area and office space; thus, the walk-in service
center will be able to accommodate more people inside as opposed to clients
queueing in the streets where they are often forced to contend with the harsh
elements and may potentially be exposed to threats to their safety,’’ said GEPF
Branch Manager in the Western Cape, Mario Johns.
GEPF’s operating hours are from 07:00 to 16:00 weekdays,
and has nine walk-in centers and seven satellite offices across South Africa
