PENSION FUNDS ACT: REPEAL OF REGULATION 33 IMMINENT

National Treasury has gazetted a notice repealing Regulation 33 of the Pension Funds Act, 1956, with effect from 20 February 2023.

Setting out an employer’s pension fund contribution obligations, Regulation 33 will be replaced by a Financial Sector Conduct Authority Standard 1 of 2022, the commencement and implementation of which is awaiting the repeal of Regulation 33.

According to a November 2022 National Treasury media statement on the proposed repeal of Regulation 33, not only are the requirements of Conduct Standard 1 of 2022 ‘identical to those contained in Regulation 33’. The standard also remedies defects in the regulation identified during its application.
