Road Accident Fund CEO Collins Letsoalo has accused attorney Gert Nel and Professor Hennie Klopper of being part of a campaign to 'capture' the fund. Letsoalo's attacks, including calling Nel an 'imposter', could lead to defamation claims against him.

“In the doomsday scenario that Nel prophesises, the RAF ‘struggles with severe operational and financial crises’, which he blames on the current board and executive management,” Letsoalo said.He said Gert Nel Attorneys Inc has from 2019 to 2024 been paid over R2.2 billion in claims. “That is one of the primary reasons why Nel is engaged in a determined and unending war against the fund,” said Letsoalo.“He is protecting his pocket and those of his colleagues. He wants an untransformed and structurally dysfunctional RAF, which is good for him as it lines his pocket and those of his colleagues.”
“Many of the things that Mr Letsoalo said are without any facts or merit and it is definitely something that I will address.Nel denied that he had launched a campaign against the RAF but admitted highlighting and calling out the mistakes and measures the fund has implemented to either manipulate the figures and limit the access of road accident victims to the RAF.
“There are more than 14 judgments in different courts in the country ordering the RAF to pay victims that have medical aids, which they are not doing,” he said.
