Road Accident Fund Major Breakthrough: R20 Billion Claims Clearance Initiative Underway in 2025
The Road Accident Fund (RAF) in South Africa has launched a R20 billion claims clearance initiative, disbursing R3.3 billion in two weeks and planning monthly payments exceeding R4 billion throughout 2025. Recent developments include the dissolution of the previous board, appointment of an interim board, enhanced transparency measures, and ongoing reforms such as the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill. These changes aim to resolve the claims backlog, improve governance, and ensure timely compensation for road accident victims.
