💨 Abstract

One year after a building collapse in George, Western Cape, survivors and relatives of the deceased have not received compensation from the Compensation Fund due to fraud and poor audit outcomes. The Fund should cover medical costs and provide income support to victims, but payouts are delayed or never paid. The Department of Labour has not commented while the payout is ongoing. The incident is being investigated for possible criminal charges.
