The portfolio committee on employment and labour has called on law enforcement agencies to speed up investigations into fraudulent claims at the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF).
It was revealed that 75 suspect claims were being investigated.
“Those arrested for having acted fraudulently and corruptly should be charged, as corruption has no place in our country. We encourage the UIF to tighten its systems and ensure that there are no weaknesses,” Dunjwa said. “We are happy that the department and the UIF are following the money. Working with law-enforcement agencies, the entity should be able to root out corruption.”
