DA not confident about government’s ability to pay UIF claims
“I don’t believe there will be much salaries flowing this month. The UIF is incapable of doing this (pay-outs).”
“Over the past few weeks I have been complaining that businesses are putting their claims in and they are not getting acknowledgement. I fear many will not get paid and if they do it will be in a few months’ time,” he said.
“I don’t believe there will be much of a salary flow at the end of this month. The UIF is incapable of this (paying the millions of claims).
“The law states quite clearly, no work no pay.”
DA spokesperson Azola Mboniswa confirmed the legitimacy of the voice note.
On Monday Nxesi visited the UIF labour centre handling “massive numbers” of claims from companies whose employees are in financial distress due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
