Middle-aged man happy with hybrid pension

As retirement approaches, many hardworking Batswana like Kgosi, a 45-year-old construction business director, start asking serious questions: “Will I have enough to live on? What if an emergency comes up? Can I trust my money will last?” For those seeking both stability and flexibility in retirement, a hybrid pension plan may be the smartest choice.

The Motswako Hybrid Pension by Bona Life is designed for today’s challenges—offering guaranteed income and access to funds when needed. It’s a modern retirement solution that’s practical, low-risk, and trusted by working Batswana.

What Is a Hybrid Pension Plan?

hybrid pension plan is a retirement savings option that combines the best of two worlds – the stability of a traditional pension that gives you monthly income for life, and, rhe flexibility of a savings account that allows you to withdraw lump sums when needed.

This gives retirees like Kgosi more control over their money—without sacrificing security. Here’s a simple comparison to understand the difference:

 

The Motswako Hybrid Pension is exactly this kind of plan—giving you structure and freedom in one affordable product.

Why Modern Retirees Need Flexibility and Security

Retirement is no longer predictable. Medical expenses, inflation, and economic pressures are making it harder for retirees to rely on fixed incomes alone.

  • Medical costs are rising, especially in later life
  • Inflation reduces the buying power of your savings
  • Emergencies can happen anytime—home repairs, family needs, or health issues

That’s why today’s retirees need more than just a basic pension. They need a plan built for real life, one that adapts to their needs and ensures long-term peace of mind.

Top Advantages of a Hybrid Pension Plan

Guaranteed Monthly Income

Just like a traditional pension, hybrid plans offer a reliable monthly payout to cover daily expenses—so you never worry about running out of money.

Access to Emergency Funds

Need to help a grandchild with school fees? Fix your roof? Cover hospital bills? A hybrid pension plan allows you to access a lump sum without penalties or long waiting periods.

Customizable Contributions

Not everyone has a fixed salary. Hybrid pensions let you adjust your contributions based on how much you can afford, making it ideal for informal or seasonal workers.

Investment Growth

Your contributions don’t just sit idle. With Motswako Hybrid Pension, your money is invested wisely, so it grows over time—increasing your overall retirement benefit.
