THE FACTS
Shima Motswadi from Kagiso in Mogale City, Gauteng, worked for Trucking and Engineering until the company closed down.
He applied for his provident fund and his surplus.
His provident fund was paid out, but he claims he did not receive the surplus funds.
WHAT I DID
I spoke to the Metal Industries Benefit Funds Administrators so I could provide feedback to worried Shima.
SOLUTION
Cynthia Mathipa from the fund administrator said Shima had already received a surplus payment of R36 641.07. There is no outstanding amount due to him.
