The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has paid out R22.6 million to 4 942 former teaching and general assistants, who were employed under Harry Gwala and iLembe District Municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

The payments were processed between 20 and 23 February 2023, when the UIF took services to clients via its mobile buses.<\/p>\n

The campaign started in November 2022 under Amajuba District Municipality, where the Fund disbursed R7.7 million to 1 746 former educator assistants and general assistants.<\/p>\n

It proceeded to eThekwini and Pinetown in December 2022, where R28.8 million was paid out to 6 204 beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

It subsequently moved to Zululand, uMgungundlovu, uThukela, Ugu, iLembe and Harry Gwala Districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, a cumulative R98.4 million has been paid out to 22 037 beneficiaries, who were employed in the aforementioned districts. From 6 March 2023, the Fund will continue with processing and paying out claims in areas around the uMkhanyakude and uMzinyathi District Municipalities,\u201d the Department of Employment and Labour said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The pay-out claims at uMkhanyakude District, will be processed on 6 March 2023 at Manguzi Education Centre;  7 March 2023 at Sisizakele Special School in Ngwavuma; 8 March 2023 at Sinethezekile Secondary School in Jozini, and from 9-10 March 2023 at Inkosi Mzondeni Hall in Mtubatuba near kwaMsane Clinic.<\/p>\n

At uMzinyathi District, the pay-outs will be processed from 6-7 March 2023 at Spring Lake High School (Endumeni\/ Nquthu); 8-9 March 2023 at Ukukhanya komsinga Special School in Msinga; and 10 March 2023 at Greytown High School.<\/p>\n

The department has urged clients who wish to lodge their benefit claims to bring along a valid Identity or Passport Document, a fully charged smartphone with data, a black pen, and proof of valid banking details.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo increase the employment prospects of former teaching and general assistants, the Department of Employment and Labour\u2019s Public Employment Services (PES) branch will be present on-site to register the CVs of the unemployed clients on the Employment Services of South Africa (ESSA) system. This service has been a standard feature of the campaign since it started,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n

ESSA is a system where work seekers can register their CVs for possible jobs and also search and apply for new job opportunities.  <\/p>\n

The system can be accessed on https:\/\/essa.labour.gov.za\/EssaOnline\/WebBeans\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former teaching and general assistants were employed as part of the Presidential Youth Employment Initiative (PYEI), which was implemented as part of the Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI) – across all nine provinces – to reduce youth unemployment in the country.  <\/p>\n

When their contracts ended, the former employees qualified to claim unemployment insurance benefits from the UIF.<\/p>\n

The dates and venues for the final District, King Cetshwayo will be announced in due course on the Fund\u2019s social media platforms and through the media. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
