CFASM
The Consultative Forum for Academic Staff Matters (CFASM) is scheduled for end of November or early December. If you have any concerns or queries, please send these to Shirifa Hellaby, the AU Administrator for possible inclusion on the agenda of the Consultative Forum. These items should reach the AU office three weeks before a particular meeting of the forum.
Two-Pot Retirement system
The Two-Pot Retirement System enables South Africans to access a small portion of their retirement savings (before they retire). This is mainly intended for emergencies. The bulk of their savings will remain “preserved”, meaning they would have to keep the majority of their retirement savings invested until they retire.
