The SIU has a proclamation to investigate allegations of corruption related to Ters.
An exclusive plant-based restaurant in Salt Rock, north of Durban, is under investigation for allegedly misappropriating R180,000 in Covid Temporary Employer and Employee Relief Scheme funds. According to the case before the department of labour’s risk anti-corruption and integrity management, Bridget van As – owner of Leaf Cafe Salt Rock – claimed about R180,000 in Ters funds on behalf of her employees, but never paid it to them.
Van As is yet to respond to questions, but Unemployment Insurance Fund spokesperson Makhosonke Buthelezi confirmed the investigation. “I have lost everything. So now I understand that I am suffering, not because our government did not think about us, but because of thieves like my boss,” one of them said.SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said he could not confirm whether the unit is investigating the matter since it has no mandate to investigate private entities.
“We are investigating Ters but not from private entities. If the investigations leads us to a private entity then we act but that is not our starting point,” Kganyago said.
