Community workers eventually receive money
Members of the SANDF in Musina exchanged their weapons for working tools when they cleaned a notorious crime spot area near the Lesley Manyathela Stadium as part of their Mandela Day celebrations.
Residents of the Kutama area, who are affiliated to the Com munity Work Programme at Madabani stadium, eventually received their monies from the Seriti Institute last week. This came after the national poverty-alleviating organisation, Seriti Institute, had reportedly failed to pay about 90 affiliated workers for several months. “Some of the workers got all their outstanding monies, but there were others who got half their pay,” said Ward 24’s Cllr Motlatso Selepe. “But senior officials at Seriti Institute’s offices in Johannesburg promised to finish paying all outstanding monies
by Friday.” Workers were very angry a fortnight ago after Seriti Institute had failed to make payments into workers’ accounts. The workers gathered at the desolate stadium to raise their concerns about monies which the organisation still owed them. “We will see that we take action, so that the district manager of Seriti Institute, (Medupi) Phalane, hears our voices,” said one angry worker. However, Cllr Selepe calmed down the angry workers and reminded them that he had since forwarded a letter of grievance and notification to the relevant stakeholders, who would then
deal with the case. When contacted, Seriti Institute’s district manager, Mr Medupi Phalane, had no comment. However, the reporter then contacted the head office in Johannesburg, who subsequently liaised with Phalane. Some hours later, Phalane called to say he was ready to comment. “Co-ordinators didn’t submit duty registers and that’s why workers were not paid on time,” he said last Tuesday. “For those who haven’t received all their wages or anything, they will get their monies once we have received the duty registers and bank statements.”
Mapula Maltjie (34), Ivy Ramovha (29) and Humbulani Khumela (27) said all they needed was their money. Musina FM presenters helped to pack the files of patients at the Messina Hospital.

Advertorial
First major insurer to cover HIV sufferers The Sanlam Group became the first major insurer in South Africa last week to announce it would offer standard life cover to people living with HIV. The move comes on the back of strong international and local research showing that HIV is now a manageable disease if given timely and proper treatment. Dr Pieter Coetzer, chief medical adviser at Sanlam, said the company was extremely pleased to be able to offer regular underwriting and life cover for HIV+ clients in its Matrix life insurance product. He said the Sanlam Group’s philosophy had always been to treat everyone equitably. “We always wanted to insure special risks like HIV; however, we previously did not have sufficient
local research studies and data to allow a satisfactory assessment of the risks involved. Two recent scientific publications have enabled us to take this innovative step in our underwriting.” Dr Coetzer explained that Sanlam had offered life cover to HIV+ people since 2002 through an endowment product. In 2008, the company launched its LifePower product, offering HIV+ clients higher amounts of pure life cover at better rates. This product requires ongoing monitoring of compliance and adherence to treatment and will remain available to HIV+ clients who don’t qualify for cover on the standard Matrix life insurance product. “We believe that our latest offer to HIV+ clients confirms
Sanlam’s position as a leader in underwriting. Moreover, we are hopeful that our underwriting approach will help to break down the stigma around HIV, and encourage people to engage in disease management.” The maximum insured amount on the product will be limited to R5 million and, as with all chronic diseases, granting of cover will be subject to certain underwriting guidelines. Factors that will be taken into account include the stage of the disease, the extent of disease control and compliance, as well as the possible presence of any complications. Applications from HIV+ people for life cover on the Sanlam Matrix life assurance product will be considered from the end of July.
