Retirement annuity, refund or not?

I'm currently unemployed, but submitted a tax return for my retirement annuity which was R3400 in the last tax year. I was surprised that I did not get anything back? Can you explain?

You're only able to receive a refund if you paid tax so you did not receive a refund as you didn't pay any tax.
