“The matter requires further investigation and hopefully recovery from the people who benefited inappropriately,” said auditor-general Tsakani Maluleke.

She highlighted the UIF as using the first audit report as a critical tool to reflect on its overall control environment and identify areas for improvement.

“Where there is responsiveness after the audit by the auditor-general, we do see some benefit,” she said. “At the end of the first report, we shared with the executive authority responsible for the UIF – labour and employment minister Thulas Nxesi - our key findings and observations and concerns relating to inappropriate payments to people who should not have benefited from the Ters benefit.

“There were consequences meted out to people who performed poorly and had maintained systems that resulted in that level of loss to the UIF and there was a diligent effort to recover what had been paid inappropriately,” she said.The same improvements were seen with regards to the Sassa systems, which were also flagged in the first report as having a number of beneficiaries who did not qualify, as they were either employed by the state [or] incarcerated, including some who were deceased.
