Pension fund contributions overlooked by employers in South Africa

Some employers in the nation have a concerning tendency to deduct employees' pension contributions without transferring the funds to the pension fund account. This is against the law and unethical. When the sun sets, workers depend on this hard-earned money to get by. A few years ago, the African National Congress came under fire for failing to make contributions to workers' pension funds.
