GEPF Shifts Retirement Age to 67: What This Means for Public Sector Employees Starting 1 November 2025 | SA News

Starting November 1, 2025, the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) in South Africa will officially shift the retirement age for public sector employees from 65 to 67 years. This major policy adjustment aims to improve pension sustainability and align with increasing life expectancy across the country. The move will impact thousands of teachers, healthcare workers, and government staff. Employees approaching retirement now have two additional years to work, which could increase their final pension benefits while ensuring financial stability for the GEPF in the long term.
