JOHANNESBURG – The Department of Labor said it was already in the process of recovering money that was fraudulently paid from the TERS fund while investigations into the misuse of the money continued.
The director of operations and financial director of the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) were suspended, along with the commissioner of the FIU, Teboho Maruping.
The Auditor General determined that illegal payments were made during the distribution of the COVID-19 relief fund.
The department’s managing director, Thobile Lamati, said they were already fine-tuning their oversight measures.

The FIU payments have been halted pending this investigation, leaving those affected even more frustrated.
