Court Dismisses RAF’s Counter Application Over Misconduct Claims
Moneyweb · 2026/02/02
Summary
A judge dismissed the Road Accident Fund's (RAF) counter application that tried to challenge claims made against it. The court strongly suggested that the RAF and its former CEO, Collins Letsoalo, acted with bad intentions when they brought the case forward. This means the court saw their actions as questionable or unfair. The dismissal ends this legal battle and highlights issues with how the RAF operates. The RAF is a government agency that pays out compensation to people injured in car accidents. Legal issues like these can affect how quickly and effectively people get financial help after accidents.
OnABudget takeaway: This ruling may lead to better transparency and fairness in how compensation claims are handled, benefiting ordinary South Africans waiting for Road Accident Fund payouts.
