Vuyani Ngalwana, the former deputy director of the Asset Forfeiture Unit, was appointed the new Pension Funds Adjudicator this week.
Ngalwana replaces John Murphy, who left for a position at the United Nations at the beginning of last year.
Ngalwana is not unfamiliar with the workings of the office of the adjudicator. When in private practice at the Cape Bar, he presented a number of seminars on pension law. He was the editor of Juta's Pension Law Bulletin for three years, and is the author of Pension Dispute Resolution Procedure: An Easy Guide.
Ngalwana has adjudicated numerous income tax matters, and has given three judgments as chairperson of the special board for hearing income tax appeals. In addition, Ngalwana has presented extensive comments on the South African Law Commission's discussion paper on the division of pension benefits between spouses on divorce.
