This response is according to information received from Transnet:
(1)(a)(b) Approximately 9,697 pensioners and 11,071 spouses and children have died since May 2013 on both funds.
(2) * Average of 156 pensioners and 178 spouses on average per month.
(3)(a)(b) The funds do not record cause of death.
* There were some 75 000 pensioners and spouses in March 2013; now there are 55 000; so about 20 000 pensioners/spouses have died over 60 months (20 000/60 = 333 per month)
