Boncap requires certain documentation for Income verification. We submitted the relevant document but they now also require UIF status. Dept of employment and labour is completely adamant that they are not allowed to issue confirmation of emplyment status for medical aid purposes and only allowed to issue UIF status for SASSA, hospital purposes or school fees. The agent at Boncap was even willing to speak to Nonhlanhla who is the agent at dept of employment and labour in Kwadukuza and she refused to speak to the agent at Boncap. Nonhlanhla was completely rude, unwilling to assist and kept asking us to rejoin the queue every time she thought that we were wasting her time. Sadly the UIF status forms have been issued to other users without any such challenges but obviously that came at a fee. Your favorable response will be highly appreciated. We tried to obtain the UIF status online but because the relevant individual was never employed or registered with UIF, it therefore does not bring up an records. Regards

I am raising a serious concern regarding the conduct of the CCMA Cape Town office and Commissioner Joshua August. During my case (WECT4081-25), Commissioner August pressured me to withdraw my matter and warned that pursuing it could harm my future employment prospects. I found this highly inappropriate and intimidating, especially as it came from someone expected to act impartially. He also made several misrepresentations in his ruling — including stating that I was not copied on management correspondence, despite clear evidence to the contrary. Furthermore, he disregarded the legal principle of vicarious liability, effectively absolving the employer of accountability for the actions of its managers. The commissioner’s reasoning reflected bias and a disregard for key facts presented under oath. I believe this constitutes a reviewable irregularity. While awaiting the outcome of the ongoing investigation, I have recently learned with great shock that my case of unfair labour practice was closed by the Cape Town CCMA, citing it as being outside their jurisdiction. This development feels like a continuation of the abuse I have been subjected to while remaining silent. I was informed of this closure by Aziza Taliep, CTN – Convening Senior Commissioner Assistant (Telephone: +27 21 469 0119). I am assuming that due diligence was exercised before this communication was sent to me. If this matter requires the involvement of political bodies, the Public Protector, or civil society organisations, I am prepared to take it to that extent. The credibility of this institution is being undermined by individuals who take the livelihoods of marginalised people for granted, and this cannot go unaddressed. My experience has left me deeply disappointed in the CCMA’s handling of the matter. As an ordinary employee seeking fairness, I expected protection — not further ************ or procedural unfairness. I am therefore requesting a formal review of Commissioner August’s conduct and a transparent investigation into how such conflicts of interest are managed within the CCMA.

Please be cautious of any requests for quotations you receive via email from the Department of Employment and Labour. There is an ongoing **** that uses the department's name, logo, and official-looking documents to request quotes for products that can only be obtained from providers involved in the ****. The products and suppliers are not legitimate and you can verify this by checking how many suppliers sell the requested product online. If you find that the product is not available from any reputable and well-known supplier, this should raise a red flag. The **** is well-organized and may appear legitimate with official-looking emails, but you can easily identify these ****s by the email address they come from. Legitimate Department of Labour emails always end with @labour.gov and nothing else after @ besides labour.gov. These ****s use email addresses such as @labour-inquiries.org or @tenders-labour.org. These emails are not from the Department of Employment and Labour. The online suppliers to watch out for involved in this **** include Atvogue Holdings and Havoc Industrial Supply and I am sure that there are many others that I am not aware of. So, if you are asked to send a quote for a product that is only available from only one or two suppliers online, who seem to have a few products in their catalogue, please be extremely cautious and conduct a thorough investigation before making any payments.
