Plan Today for the Retirement You Deserve

Retirement may feel like a distant concern, but the reality is that the decisions you make today — about saving, investing, and tax efficiency — have a profound impact on the lifestyle you can afford when you eventually stop working. Many South Africans reach retirement age with far less than they need, simply because they did not start planning soon enough or made uninformed decisions along the way.

At Malobisa Business Consulting, we help individuals and families build meaningful retirement plans that are grounded in their real circumstances, goals, and timeline. We assess where you are today, where you want to be, and how to get there — with honest, practical guidance that you can act on immediately.

Our investment planning guidance complements your retirement strategy, helping you understand how to allocate your savings and grow your wealth in a way that balances risk and reward appropriately for your life stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about retirement and investment planning in South Africa.

A common guideline is to save at least 15% of your gross income towards retirement throughout your working life. However, the right amount for you depends on your age, current savings, desired retirement age, and the lifestyle you want in retirement. We calculate a personalised savings target based on your specific situation rather than applying a generic rule.
Contributions to a retirement annuity are tax deductible up to 27.5% of your greater of remuneration or taxable income, capped at R350 000 per year. This means if you contribute R50 000 to an RA in a year, you save tax on that R50 000 at your marginal tax rate — potentially thousands of rands in annual tax savings while simultaneously growing your retirement savings.
A TFSA allows you to invest up to R36 000 per year (R500 000 lifetime) and pay no tax on the growth, interest, or dividends earned within the account. They are an excellent complement to retirement funds — especially useful for medium-term goals or as additional retirement savings. We advise on how to incorporate a TFSA into your overall financial plan most effectively.
As early as possible. The power of compound growth means that money saved in your 20s grows far more than money saved in your 40s. However, even if you are starting later, a proper plan can make a significant difference. We work with clients at every stage of life to help them make the most of whatever time and resources they have.
