Sanlam Edupen Irresponsible Officials

Department - Sanlam Umbrella Pension Fund Date of query: 05 February 2021 Member No: ***0 Employee No: S 0916 Member Name : N Mandleni-Tsawe Previous Employer : Buffalo City TVET College

On 05 February 2021, I requested a breakdown of member contribution build up from date of inception of my previous employment till date of exit. As explained on various correspondences, the reason for such request was that the benefit sum reflected on Sanlam statement was far less than employees & employer' contribution with a deficit of R20k plus without even including accumulated interests & Sanlam Admin fees. Obviously, it was a shock that the benefit sum would be far less than the money invested, then why was the money invested then. I even went an extra mile of sending a spreadsheet showing employer & employee contributions as reflected on salary 2 years salary statements in order to ease the query.

Herewith, are the Sanlam Edupen Umbrella Pension Fund ******** officials who on various occasions were made aware of the pending request but none of them was willing to assist : Karen Du Preez, Narelle GreenThompson, Ramone Mitchell, Shameema AbdulRahman, Deniel Kinnear, Puleng Pakamile. At some stage, I even requested them an email of the Departmental Manager dealing in order to escalate the matter further, but all was in vain. This has shown that all the above officials are so *********** & ******** in dealing with customer queries and various track of emails prove as such. This is so annoying as telephone calls never worked.

The above officials were all made aware that this matter will be taken up to Hellopeter due to their incompetence having failed in providing proper feedback on this matter. I must say, I'm very disappointed at your services and would not recommend Sanlam to anyone in the near future.

For any further queries: email - ***, Contact: ***

Greetings

I'm still waiting for a response from Ms Vuyelwa Sishuba. As per my recent correspondence, her response was not fully addressing my query. Kindly attend to my query as a matter of urgency as this is long overdue.

Dear Ms Sishuba

I tried to call you on several occasions in order to clarify what you are missing in our correspondences. You are missing very important parts of our conversations. If you can have a glance at my spreadsheet , employer contributions are greater than employees' one - just simple mathematical logic. In your case, employees contributions are greater than employer's contribution, then what happened in this case. Contributions can't just vanish in the middle of nowhere.
Secondly, the lumpsum you are referring to doesn't reflect what was contributed to Sanlam by both the employer and the employee hence a breakdown of monthly contributions received by Sanlam were requested from your side for the full period, which you are failing to provide . All, I want to determine, where are the missing contributions- Did the empoyer actually sent the funds as reflected on my salary statement? Did Sanlam made an error in capturing funds that were paid by the employer. I cannot simple rush for Arbitration without receiving simple requested information from your side.
At this moment, it would be wise to investigate this issue prior referring me to Arbitration unnecessarily. Can you please give me the number of your immediate supervisor in order to escalate this matter if you don't have capacity to investigate it further or provide the required information.
Awaits your urgent respond on this matter as it is very crucial. My money can't just varnish out of nowhere without any trace nor accountability.
Kind regards
