Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy
JOHANNESBURG - Transport Minister Barbara Creecy has dissolved the Board of Directors of the Road Accident Fund (RAF).
The dissolution follows several governance and operational issues at the RAF.
"Minister Creecy has reiterated her department's commitment to continue to pursue all necessary measures to restore institutional stability and enhance the RAF’s capacity to fulfil its statutory obligations to the public and ensure a speedy and equitable access to the Road Accident Benefit Scheme by the road accident victims," the Transport Department said in a statement.
"She further emphasized her department’s intent to finalize the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill, which will introduce a no-fault system to make it easier for road accident victims to access the benefits without costly legal bills."
