Compensation Fund paid over 5 Million in medical invoices as part of the North West Mall activation campaign

Over 5 million Rand has been paid to different service providers who rendered services to the Compensation Fund clients as part of the build-up towards a Mall Activation campaign that was held over the weekend at Brits Mall, in the North West Province.

According to the Director: Compensation Fund in the North West, Dr Mpai Moropa, this campaign is part of the Department’s effort to reach out to clients and service providers as well as increase accessibility and visibility.

“Our services are one of the most sought after and the five days working period is always not enough, therefore, we use campaigns such as these over the weekend to mobilise all our resources under one roof and reach out to as many people and service providers as we possibly can, especially those who are unable to reach us during the normal working hours,” said Dr Moropa.

During the campaign, over four hundred (400) people were assisted with different services such as registration and processing of claims in respect of Occupational Injuries and Diseases (COID) and Unemployment Insurance Fund(UIF); registration of unemployed persons on the Employment System of South Africa (ESSA) database for possible future job placements and registration of labour related complaints for the Inspection and Enforcement Services (IES) unit to follow-up.

Other stakeholders that joined in were the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) and Rand Mutual Assurance (RMA) who were also assisting clients with work related complaints and claims.

The campaign will continue in February as per the schedule below.
