A storm has erupted over claims that former Road Accident Fund (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo spent millions of public funds on extravagant personal security measures, including a R4.4 million bulletproof BMW X5 and a convoy that racked up R1.7 million in fuel costs. These revelations, brought to light by Rise Mzansi leader Songezo Zibi, have sparked outrage, especially given the RAF’s financial struggles and its failure to pay over R300 billion in claims. Critics argue that while the fund is drowning in debt and accident victims await payouts, funds were used for lavish perks, including bodyguards running personal errands for Letsoalo.

The controversy has prompted a parliamentary probe into the RAF's operations, highlighting wild spending, questionable accounting practices, and mismanagement. The inquiry, led by Zibi, aims to address the systemic failures and expose potential abuse of power. Letsoalo has denied any wrongdoing, but the growing backlash has led to calls for full audits and criminal investigations into the misuse of funds. With the RAF struggling to meet its core mission, public outrage continues to mount, demanding accountability and reforms to ensure the fund serves its intended purpose of aiding road accident victims.
