Public Spat Playing Out Between Raf And Legal Practitioner

A war of words is playing out in public between the Road Accident Fund RAF and a legal practitioner.

RAF CEO Collins Letsoalo says the RAF is a victim of a media campaign orchestrated by some legal practitioners, academics and journalists after they failed to capture the fund.

Gert Nel, an attorney mentioned as one of those involved in the alleged propaganda campaign refutes the claims and accuses Letsoalo of telling the public half-truths.

Letsoalo says the fund is under attack and propaganda is being used to drive a negative narrative. He has named a lawyer, an academic, and a journalist amongst others he says are driving the campaign as they have failed to capture the fund.

He says there has been an attempt to capture the management, the board and key positions within the fund. He alleges that when these attempts failed, the individuals have been spreading propaganda and spreading falsehoods about the fund and its management.
