JOHANNESBURG - Former Road Accident Fund (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo has been subpoenaed to appear before Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa).
The government spending watchdog is looking into claims of maladministration at the fund.

It heard this week that Letsoalo abused his power and used state bodyguards as personal servants.
Letsoalo also allegedly bought R4.4 million armoured vehicle, claiming his life was in danger.
SCOPA Chairperson Songezo Zibi says the committee wrote to Letsoalo several times, notifying him of the inquiry.
"His contention has always been that he wants to choose the committee to which he wants to appear before because he does not believe our committee is empowered to hold these kinds of processes. This led to the subpoena which was issues and signed this week," he said.
Zibi says this subpoena signals a assertive stance from SCOPA.
