FAIS ombud upholds complaint against Luvuyo Burial and Consulting

The office of the ombud for financial services providers has issued a determination in favour of Pumelele Mantingani after financial services provider Luvuyo Burial and Consulting failed to honour a funeral policy claim. Luvuyo Burial's failure to honour the claim has also resulted in its licence as a financial services provider being suspended by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). Mantingani, who took out a funeral policy with the company in September 2020, lodged a complaint with the ombud's office on October 28 last year after Luvuyo Burial and Consulting failed to honour a valid claim after the death of her uncle, Mbuyeni Katshi, on July 17 2024. Mantingani submitted her claim on July 27 2024. Luvuyo Burial and Consulting, based in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, acknowledged the claim and committed to payment, but only partially honoured the obligation, paying R5,000 of the R10,000 due. Despite further assurances, the balance remains unpaid. Numerous attempts were made by the ombud to resolve the matter amicably. Though Luvuto Burial undertook on more than one occasion to settle the outstanding balance, it failed to do so. During the investigation, it also came to light that Luvuyo Burial was operating without an underwriter, raising serious concerns regarding its compliance with regulatory requirements. In assessing the evidence, the office found that the policy was valid and that the deceased was listed as an insured life. However, Luvuyo failed to act in accordance with the policyholder protection rules, which require that: 'An insurer must, within two business days after all required documents in respect of a claim under a microinsurance policy or a funeral policy have been received, assess and make a decision whether the claim submitted is valid, and authorise payment of the claim, repudiate the claim or dispute the claim and notify the claimant of the dispute.' The ombud said the company's failure to process the claim appropriately reflected noncompliance with treating customers fairly outcome 6, which states that 'customers do not face unreasonable post-sale barriers when they want to change a product, switch providers, submit a claim or make a complaint'. As a result, the ombud upheld the complaint and ordered that Luvuyo Burial and Consulting pay the complainant the outstanding balance of R5,000 with interest at a rate of 11.25% per annum from the date of the determination until the date of final payment. 'Given the respondent's failure to comply with regulatory requirements, a copy of this determination was referred to the FSCA for its attention and possible enforcement action. 'As a result, the respondent's licence as a financial services provider was suspended by the FSCA on April 14,' the ombud said.

Labour department denies racial quotas in Employment Equity Amendment Act

Minister of Labour and Employment Nomakhosazana Meth. (File photo) The department of employment and labour has rejected claims by the Democratic Alliance (DA) that the In April, the DA But labour department spokesperson Pertunia Lessing, told the Mail & Guardian that the Act 'does not have quotas'. The DA, whose challenge will be heard in the coming weeks, says the new amendments will 'make employers self-implement sectoral racial quotas', which give employers the right to identify and record an employee's race if the employee chooses not to disclose it voluntarily. In a written reply to a DA question in parliament, Employment and Labour Minister Nomakhosazana Meth said the amendment was meant to ensure 'reliable, existing historical data'. This would mean that an employee would either need to disclose their family history, which is considered personal information, or have their race assumed. DA spokesperson on labour Michael Bagraim said Meth's 'generic' definitions of persons of colour cannot stand in a democratic South Africa. 'This is a preposterous suggestion and appears to expect employers to conduct race inspections to tick a box, in order to avoid being fined,' he said. According to the Employment Equity Act, 'black people' is a generic term that includes African, coloured and Indian people. This definition in the Act has not been amended since 1998. According to the 2025 amendments, employers with 50 or more workers are required to ask each worker to fill out a form to declare their occupational level in terms of race, gender and disability status information. If an employee refuses to fill out the form or gives incorrect details, the employer is allowed to use reliable past or current information to determine the person's race, gender or disability status. This process must be done at the workplace and is the employer's legal duty. The DA accused the minister of not conducting a formal investigation based on evidence to establish the 'South Africa continues to be one of the most unequal nations on Earth, with more than eight million South Africans unemployed and a small elite enriched, making the evidence against employment equity regulations undeniable,' Bagraim said. The Act as amended further sets hiring quotas for 18 economic sectors, from mining and transport to construction and agriculture, in a bid to increase employment opportunities for 'designated groups' including black people, women and people living with disabilities. The DA noted that South Africa no longer uses the Population Registration Act, an 'It cannot stand that employers become racial classification agents,' Bagraim said.

Godongwana proposes full public funding for political parties

Finance minister Enoch Godongwana is proposing political parties be fully funded by public money, arguing reliance on private donors undermines accountability. Speaking at the Electoral Commission of SA's (IEC) inaugural symposium on political funding on Thursday, he said: 'In my view, political parties must be fully publicly funded. Political funding for political parties from the public purse carries with it obligations — there's going to be accountability and transparency. The auditor-general must be able to audit for that accountability.' Godongwana said there is need for a funding regime that ensures stability, transparency and participation. However, he cautioned that economic challenges and reduced revenue collection could limit the creation of a common public funding pool. 'Between the 2011/12 financial year to date, we've only given R3bn to political parties,' a figure he cited to highlight underfunding of parties. He also questioned the IEC's role in overseeing political funding, asking, 'Are we not putting the IEC in a position of a conflict?' Listen to the minister:
