Save for a rainy day, Insurance commission

The Insurance and Pensions Commission (Ipec) has said the public should save for retirement and insure their assets against future losses.

Addressing the public during an Ipec roadshow in Mount Darwin on Saturday, Ipec manager Nhau Chivingira said, “We would also like to encourage you to save for your retirement because you may not have the energy to continue working and generating income when you are old.”

Chivingira urged the public, including those in rural areas, to insure their assets and save for retirement to protect themselves against future losses and old age poverty respectively.
