The Special Investigating Unit on Wednesday laid bare a criminal syndicate involving government officials, private companies, inmates and the use of ID numbers of dead people to illegally claim Covid-19 TERS payments from the Unemployment Insurance Fund.

Le Roux said the SIU was able to secure sufficient evidence in support of a national UIF proclamation, which was signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa in April.

The SIU probed government employees, SA National Defence Force staff, inmates and ID numbers of the dead being used to claim from the relief fund.
