Answer:

Rui Jose,

You are only permitted to borrow money from your pension fund if a) the fund rules permit this and b) the loan is for housing-related purposes (to purchase a home or settle a loan iro a property you and/or your financial dependants live in, refer to s19(5) of the Pension Funds Act for restrictions). You need to contact your HR department, to initiate this process.
