Retirement in South Africa

Do you have at least R37,000 a month in regular income that does not come from working?

Add up every source that pays you regularly, from anywhere in the world: pensions, annuities, rental income, dividends and regular investment drawings. The regulations set no figure; it is fixed by ministerial notice, and R37,000 a month is the figure reported in general use. There is no minimum age.
