Road Accident Fund (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo has launched a blistering critique of Gert Nel Inc., a law firm that has claimed R2.2 billion for representing clients in RAF cases. At a recent media briefing, Letsoalo exposed the firm’s substantial earnings, including the significant portion pocketed by its head, Gert Nel. His revelations have sparked widespread debate over exorbitant legal fees and their strain on the RAF’s finances.

“We cannot allow this institution to be drained by exorbitant legal costs while claimants wait endlessly for relief,” Letsoalo declared, underscoring the need for reform in the RAF’s processes. He accused legal intermediaries of thriving at the expense of accident victims, calling for an overhaul to prioritize those the fund was created to serve.

Gert Nel Inc., a major player in RAF claims, has handled thousands of cases and generated considerable profits. Letsoalo criticized these practices, stating, “While we are paying millions to lawyers, ordinary South Africans are left in despair, waiting for their rightful compensation.”

In defense, Gert Nel argued that his firm’s fees are justified by the extensive work required to secure justice for clients. However, critics, including Letsoalo, view the firm’s payouts as emblematic of systemic inefficiencies within the RAF that divert resources away from victims.

The controversy has reignited public concern over the RAF’s financial health. Ballooning legal costs and a growing backlog of claims have prompted calls for urgent intervention to streamline operations and minimize reliance on external legal services.

Letsoalo has vowed to implement sweeping reforms, including direct engagement with claimants to reduce legal expenses. “The RAF exists for victims, not for those who profit from the system,” he asserted, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability.

As scrutiny of the RAF intensifies, the case has cast a spotlight on the broader challenges of balancing justice, ethics, and sustainability in South Africa’s road accident compensation framework.
