It emerged during the Ex-mine Workers Summit held in Sun City, in the North West, that some are denied compensation by the criteria used to determine the extent of disability. The National Department of Health reports that more than R1 billion has still not been claimed from the Compensation Commissioner for Occupational Diseases. These benefits are meant for former mine workers in the Southern African Development Community region.
Mine worker unions say the process of assessing workers’ claims needs to change. National Union of Mineworkers, Secretary for Health and Safety, Masibulele Naki says there should be one stop health offices all over where the majority of mines are. Head of Stakeholder Partnership at Rand Mutual Assurance Adam Letshele says sometimes employers do not submit accident claims on time and workers remain without receiving payments.
