The Mining Industry Pension Fund (MIPF) has broadened its membership eligibility to include employees from all sectors of the economy, moving away from its traditional focus on workers in the mining industry.
Speaking on the Fund’s weekly retirement planning radio programme, Pensions Manager Thulani Ndlovu said the development allows workers outside the mining sector to enjoy the same retirement benefits offered to miners.
He also explained how the Fund processes pay-outs for members who have been retrenched.
Ndlovu emphasized that retirement planning should start early to ensure financial security later in life.
