The African Christian Democratic Party has welcomed the clarity that has been provided regarding retirement reform proposal. 

ACDP MP Steve Swart said it is important to note that workers are to be encouraged to preserve their savings until retirement but the question is whether workers are cashing out their pension and provident savings early.

Swart said the challenge is that even if South Africans save, mainly through their retirement funds, they are very quick to withdraw and spend their retirement savings when they change jobs.

“This leaves most of us vulnerable in our retirement as we would not have accumulated enough savings to retire comfortably Swart added.
