The Citizen reports that former Road Accident Fund (RAF) CEO Collins Letsoalo has referred a dispute with the fund to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).

The dispute apparently relates to Letsoalo’s expectation of the renewal of his contract, with the now-dissolved former RAF board allegedly having made an offer to reappoint him for a further term as CEO. Letsoalo is no longer employed by the RAF after his term of contract as RAF CEO expired on 6 August 2025. The previous RAF Board suspended Letsoalo in early June 2025 for insubordination related to his refusal to appear before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa). Following his suspension, Letsoalo launched an unsuccessful urgent application in the North Gauteng High Court related to his suspension and reappointment as RAF CEO.

Judge Graham Moshoana ruled in June this year that Letsoalo’s suspension by the RAF board had been lawful, rational, and reasonable, and dismissed his application with costs. He also ruled that there was no factual or legal basis for the assertion that Letsoalo had acquired a right to be reappointed as CEO of the RAF. He noted that the (now dissolved) RAF board denied this, and Letsoalo had failed to provide any resolution taken by the board in support of the allegation of a reappointment decision.
