It was announced in July that the Ters benefit would be extended for an extra six weeks until August 15. This has not yet happened. The DA said employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi must indicate when the July applications will open. He owes it to the anxious and desperate workers of SA, who aren’t sure when their next pay cheque will arrive,” MP Michael Cardo said. A total of R40bn has been set aside for Ters, and Buthelezi said that, as of Saturday, the UIF had paid out about R38.5bn from 727,238 applications, covering 8.7-million workers.
