Only spoke to the government agencies on 2 occasions. Once when I worked at another government agency and needed to call the WCC. I would do that & just hold on forever. One Friday afternoon a lady called April answered. Nearly fell off my chair I had such a fright. The other time was when I had Covid...someone from the Health Department called me, on my cell phone, to let me know that my preiod of isolation would end the following day. I was beyond astonished.

She was actually really polite

Although this sounds funny, let me tell you the anxiety and anguish one goes through to claim UIF. It is painful!😢 If you want to prank someone, knock at the door of the Labour Department!! 😬

Just unblievable, this just typical of how the ANC treats the people that pay there taxes every year !! but get absolutely nothing for in return 4 it.

I have been waiting 10 months for UIF. like many others have pointed out - calling the call center is useless. You have to actually go sit in the queue at the labour center for up to 5 hours to get to the front for them to tell you first off wait 7-15 working days then you go back and they still don't know what's happening. Then you go back and their next excuse is that there's a "backlog" - no shit. Then its escalation upon escalation. Then after 6 months my application was finally approved - BUT by then my "3 month old" certified documents had lapsed and so i needed to submit new docs. NOW because its been over 7 months and the total value owed to me exceeds R25000, i have to go through a DIFFERENT manual process whereby i have to get bank statements from 3 months BEFORE unemployment - so i pay for those statements out of pocket - then after submitting those, i have been waiting another month. i went back a few days ago and i am told "it is being processed" "you'll have your money by next week" i have visited those buildings 10 times - ive spent over 50 hours wasted in a queue. I dont blame anyone who decides not to even try go down routes of government assistance.

I have family starving while they wait for money from UIF. Its not funny. Its hurtful

When he says it's called a COB 😂😂😂😂

I'm glad y'all discussinh this, it's really really bad, while on maternity leave you literally have to see your own way out, cause if you lucky it only comes when you return to work... It's frustrating, disrespectful, disgrace. 💔

What a disgrace! My gardener that has been working over 32 years and cannot get uif to pay him regardless of his and our contribution for years and years

My husband has bern waiting for uif for 3 years...

Nice session, enjoyed watching🎉🎉🎉

How am I first to comment? Whackady, been a fan since 2005! All the way from Sydney Australia.

The shame and truth in this is so real

This person was SO patient I would have said more worse words than she did. 🎉😂😅

LOL I LIKE HOW SHE SAID "YES" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CALL 😅😅😅😅

After months of getting nowhere prior to having to move across the Country ( But in having been rewarded with at least 5 Reference Numbers by 3 different * Agents * within EKSDOM ); I eventually had to laff-off R 12 K that HAD to be paid to allow for the sale of my house to go through; being the direct result of an ADMITTED in-house clerical Billing error that was blatantly obvious; evidenced in print from one month to the next. An excellent prank; but I totally identify and sympathise with the now post-pregnant Woman. Know that I believe that instructions have been given out and that stone-walling is INTENTIONAL to avoid any form of payout as there are limited budget-funds in all Departments following State-capture / Corruption / Looting etc ... Simply; you have little or no chance of rightful claim pay-out or reimbursement ...😡

You can get the payback for all the years.

Waiting 2 years 2 months for my UIF. When you call the call centre, they tell you it's being escalated.

And the they ask ...how was the service....

This is my most favourite Whackhead persona😂😂😂

Wow love your scams❤❤❤😂

I have sent in my continues every month for the past, they will then send you a SMS to say, request has been received and the money will be allocated in 7 days. But I never get the money. So, who is getting it then?

😂😂😂😂 love you whackhead you are a bomb bro.

Still waiting more than a year now

It's sad how our country has failed its people

I'm due over R25k from uif waiting over a year for my approved claim

Reminds me of terrorizing telemarketers by jim florentine

I love the lipths Lol

That is disgusting. Hopefully you pay her for all the pain and false hopes

Sassa is so quick&easy to get. Uif on the other hand is much harder ..

Hate that word escolate

Waiting for 3 years .... Still nothing

SA.... Land of zombies

Anything touched by this lot turns to merds

Lol

Earning the money you do you can only spare your mom a miserable 2k a month? Shame on you Darren.

Im tired of useless sout africa, scammers are more organized

These guys lack chemistry.

Wow...South African humour is not what I remember it to be...what makes this worse is whackhead is the leader of these jokers...anybody remember whackhead on late 90's 5FM...that was clever and funny...with Sasha and EMF?

Lol
