It must be noted that the majority of former miners are in labour sending areas such as the Eastern Cape, Lesotho and Mozambique and thus the outreach campaigns assist in bringing services closer to the towns / districts where the former miners live. In the last five months of 2023, outreach activities were undertaken in two districts in KwaZulu-Natal and three districts in the Eastern Cape. Former miners can also access compensation claims services at fixed hospital facilities in Mthatha, Carletonville, Kuruman and Burgersfort.
