“Please note the sheriff has informed MediPos that the funds have not been received from the SAPO bank account yet. Once the sheriff confirms receipt of the funds into the sheriff's account, the scheme will immediately lift the suspension of benefits and communicate the good news.” “In order to have your suspension lifted you will be required to pay September’s contribution together with less than an additional two months contribution, which can be paid off as part of an agreed payment plan,” members were told.

A Cape Town-based post office pensioner who suffers from dementia was told to pay her R4,653 “arrears” into Medipos’ bank account for unpaid contributions, according to her son-in-law.
