Who We Are
Since 1985, the SALA Pension Fund has been a trusted financial partner to employees of Local Authorities across South Africa. Our mission is simple yet vital — to provide long-term financial security and peace of mind to those who serve the public. Whether through retirement planning, death or disability benefits, our fund ensures that members and their families are supported when it matters most.
Disability Benefit
Pays out in the event of a permanent disability that prevents you from working, helping replace lost income and support your long-term wellbeing.
Death Benefit
Provides financial support to your nominated beneficiaries in the event of your passing, helping ease the burden during a difficult time.
Funeral Benefit
A lump sum payout designed to assist with funeral expenses, ensuring your family can lay you to rest with dignity and without financial stress.
Dread Disease Benefit
Offers a payout if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer, stroke, or heart disease — helping cover medical and lifestyle adjustment costs.
Family Support Benefit
A monthly income provided to your dependents for a period of 6 months whilst they await final distribution of your death benefits.
Accidental In-Hospital Benefit
Provides a payment of R7500 to a member if they are hospitalized for 24 hours or more as a result of an accident. Once per annum.
