South Africa’s Road Accident Fund being bled dry – this is who’s to blame
The Road Accident Fund’s (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo says the fund fears being bled dry by ‘suspicious, exorbitant’ claims – but the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has pointed to multiple failures, including corruption.
The RAF, which recorded a R8.43 billion deficit for the 2022/23 financial year, recently revealed that it is struggling to get on top of mounting claims, recording a backlog of over 321,000 – largely due to missing supporting documents.
Letsoalo largely laid the blame for ailments in the fund’s fiscal position at the feet of non-South Africans for having “exorbitant” and “suspicious claims.”
