Labour and Employment Minister Thulas Nxesi wants every Unemployment Insurance Fund Covid-19 relief transaction audited.
This comes after report of fraudulent UIF payments.
On Friday, while giving members in the parliament update on payments and system challenges.
Nxesi said UIF did not have unlimited resources, which was why it has to ensure that every cent was accounted for, the fund was defrauded of over R5 million by a warehouse employee.
“We need a complete audit to account for every cent. Even if this process takes long we have to follow the money. When we say there are corrupt individuals, we need to be able to identify them,” Nxesi said.
He as well stated that they would also be investigating whether any UIF officials colluded with anyone to defraud the company.
