LISTEN: Debt Rescue SA urge South Africans not to touch their Pension Funds before retirement

Loading player...

The two-pot retirement system has officially taken effect.

Neil Roets from Debt Rescue SA says South Africans do not understand and appreciate the consequences associated with the two-pot system.
