What is the Road Accident Fund?
Owned by the South African public, the RAF provides appropriate cover to all road users (locals and foreign nationals) within the South African borders. The RAF information portal shares that it also rehabilitates and compensates people injured by motor vehicles and actively promotes the safe use of all South African roads.
RAF further explains:
"Section 3 of the RAF Act stipulates that 'the object of the Fund shall be the payment of compensation in accordance with this Act for loss or damage wrongfully caused by the driving of a motor vehicle.'"
