As the year 2025 draws to a close, the Municipal Workers Retirement Fund (MWRF) wishes all its valued members a safe, restful, and well-deserved holiday season. Your dedication and essential service to our municipalities throughout the year have been exemplary, and we trust this time will offer you the peace and rejuvenation you have earned.
Day of Reconciliation: Building a Unified Future
As the festive break begins, we first pause to observe the Day of Reconciliation on 16 December. This important South African public holiday encourages us to reflect on our nation’s divided past and actively commit to fostering national unity, racial harmony, and social cohesion.
The principles of reconciliation—healing, forgiveness, and mutual respect—are central to building a secure and equitable society. The MWRF believes that this spirit must extend into every community and workplace. We encourage all members to engage in reflection and action that strengthens the bonds of unity during this significant time.
Looking Forward to 2026: Securing Your Financial Horizon
The MWRF team remains steadfast in our core mission: to protect and grow the wealth of our municipal workers. As we look ahead to 2026, we are energised to continue navigating the complex financial landscape to ensure the long-term security and sustainability of your retirement benefits.
Next year, we will maintain our focus on:
- Optimal Investment Performance: Strategically managing the Fund to deliver strong, competitive returns.
- Enhanced Member Service: Providing clear communication, easy access to information, and efficient benefit administration.
Thank you for your trust and for making the MWRF your partner in securing a dignified future. May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the year 2026 bring you and your loved ones health, prosperity, and continued success.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
