In the 2022/23 financial year, the RAF spent R45bn of its R48. 6bn fuel levy income on paying claims.
While the DA asked the Minister of Transport, Barbara Creecy, to urgently intervene in what it deems the Road Accident Fund’s “imminent implosion”, the entity has hit back.
Hunsinger said this state of affairs seems to point to the fund’s imminent implosion without prompt intervention from either the Transport Minister or the Portfolio Committee on Transport. Hunsinger said in the letter that over the years, the DA have seen a worrying disconnect between the department of transport and one of its key entities, RAF.
“Claims need to be paid and the minister must intervene to ensure that they are,” he said. He added that victims should not be subjected to the “cruelty of the existing RAF management”.
