I'm hoping guys with experience with moving to the UK temporarily can provide some wisdom...

I currently have an Pension Preservation Fund and an RA with Investec. Naturally I will stop contribution to the RA as I will no longer be able to benefit from the 27.5% tax deduction from SARS. I've been researching and it seems I can claim a Tax Deduction in the UK as long as I contribute to a QROPS approved fund and I see one of Investec has a RA listed.

Is my conclusions correct, can I claim pensions tax deductions while working in the UK on a VISA?
Should I rather be taking advantage of a UK retirement scheme that invests majority outside of SA while I can during my time in the UK?
