60 000 ex-mineworkers to claim R5bn unpaid benefits
Colossal benefits backlog blamed for unpaid millions owed to ex-mineworkers
Unpaid amounts owed to former mineworkers in-clude R3-billion owed by the MWPF, R200-million by the 1970s Fund, R101-million by the Sentinel Mining Industry Retirement Fund, R180-million by the Rand Mutual Assurance Company and R1.2-billion by the Fidentia-linked Living Hands Umbrella Trust. A backlog of 18 000 claims exists at the Department of Labour’s compensation com-missioner for occupational diseases and 12 000 claims are waiting at the Compensation Fund.Concerns abound that former mineworkers lack information about their access rights, procedures and administrative formalities, but changes to the Pension Funds Act now allow for a portion of ac-crued interest to be used for tracing costs.It was announced this week that some 60 000 former mineworkers have to date come forward
to claim their portion of about R5 billion in un-paid pension, provident fund and service awards. These people are mainly from the traditional labour-sending areas of Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and North West and South Africa’s neigh-bouring states of Mozambique, Swaziland and Botswana. Another 200 000 former mineworkers and their beneficiaries can still lay claim to un-paid funds, and one million awards claims need to be analysed. Teba Limited has submitted 400 claims to the Mines 1970s Fund and another 500 claims to the newer Mine Workers provident Fund (MWPF) are ready to be concluded. Teba can verify claims by means of their database contain-ing more than 1.5 million records, and deliver their service to former mineworkers and their beneficia-ries free of charge.
