In South Africa, it is generally not possible to withdraw your pension fund while still actively employed. This is because pension funds are intended to provide income for individuals once they retire and are no longer earning a salary.
According to the Pension Funds Act, employees who are members of a pension fund are only allowed to access their funds under specific circumstances, such as retirement, disability or death. In some cases, members may be allowed to access a portion of their pension fund in the form of a withdrawal benefit or a loan, but this is subject to specific conditions and limitations.
It is important to note that accessing your pension fund before retirement may have significant financial implications, such as tax penalties and the loss of potential earnings. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with a financial advisor before making any decisions regarding your pension fund.
