Letsoalo and Modiba claimed that their suspensions were not about misconduct, but retaliation.
They allege that judges, lawyers, and even the RAF's board chairperson, Lorraine Francios, were at the centre of financial mismanagement at the state-owned fund.
Letsoalo added that his failure to appear at a SCOPA hearing in May, which was cited as another reason for his suspension, was because he was placed on special leave a day before by the board chairperson, who then told him not to attend.
On the other hand, the CIO, Modiba, also dismissed claims that he misled the RAF about his exit from the City of Johannesburg.
Letsoalo told the media that they would fight to maintain their integrity.
"What would you rather we do? Do you want us to die in silence or you want us to deliver an ostrich post and say they are coming for us? We are ready, where this comes from, we are ready, we will show you how systematically we are being bullied."
Letsoalo added that that he was prepared to give his life to ensure the truth was revealed.

SIU investigation into lottery corruption hamstrung by red tape
Narrow terms of the original proclamation authorising the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate dodgy procurement at the National Lotteries Commission has hamstrung its investigations, despite the SIU having applied for an amendment to the terms 15 months ago. Photo: Steve Kretzmann Almost 15 months after the The original October 2020 proclamation allowed the SIU to only investigate grants made by the Since then, several independent audits commissioned by the NLC have also uncovered fraud, corruption and extensive circumvention of 'procurement processes' running into hundreds of millions of rand. But the narrow terms of the original proclamation have left the SIU hamstrung and unable to investigate the NLC procurement and appointments of service providers. The NLC is also unable to investigate potentially fraudulent or corrupt grants that fall outside the window of the 2020 proclamation. A backlog of applications for SIU proclamations built up during the tenure of former justice and constitutional development minister A flurry of new proclamations has been granted this year after the appointment of her replacement, But the SIU's National Lotteries Commission application, submitted in April last year, has been gathering dust. Red tape An Institute for Security Studies (ISS) report on the future of the SIU, released last week, found that the proclamation process is mired in red tape. The resulting delays at the justice department 'have sometimes amounted to several years', according to the ISS. 'This has frustrated the recovery of funds, which can be hidden or dissipate quickly,' the ISS says. 'In turn, this might delay the referral of cases to the NPA [National Prosecuting Authority], resulting in the loss of evidence and slow down disciplinary processes for state employees'. The ISS has recommended that SIU motivations for presidential proclamations should rather be handled by the Presidency. Terrence Manase, spokesperson for the justice ministry, said last week that the SIU's amendment application has not yet reached the minister's office. 'The ministry acknowledges the seriousness of the matter and remains committed to ensuring that all allegations of corruption are addressed appropriately, within the confines of the law,' he said. GroundUp reported in 2023 that the SIU was planning to ask for an extension of its mandate. It was submitted in April 2024. Mashudu Netshikwera, who heads up the SIU's team investigating the NLC, told parliament in May that the application for an extension was submitted almost a year earlier in April 2024. Justice department spokesperson Kgalalelo Masibi said 'the department is currently attending the request for an amendment'. She said the department had 'raised certain concerns with the SIU, which the SIU has since addressed. The department has completed its assessment of the request and will be advising the minister and the Presidency in due course.' Millions in dodgy procurement deals The findings of the independent investigations commissioned by the NLC's new board and executive were key in formulating disciplinary charges against implicated staff, including National Lotteries Commission chief operating officer Phillemon Letwaba and former NLC company secretary Nompumelelo Nene. Among the issues flagged in damning reports by the auditor general and the independent auditors were irregular expenditure on information technology and sky-high spending on lawyers. The NLC struggled to answer a written parliamentary question about its expenditure on legal fees, as key files with details of multimillion-rand litigation expenditure have vanished. Another area of concern is the tens of millions of rand in spending on media and communications, with a disproportionate amount paid to the Sunday World newspaper. Millions of rand in dodgy payments were also made to NLC service providers, including a nearly R500,000 payment to service provider Neo Consulting to investigate a computer hack that never happened. ProEthics, which advised the NLC on ethics when the organisation was overwhelmed by rampant corruption, was used to circumvent procurement processes. The NLC paid ProEthics more than R28.4 million. The company, in turn, said it paid other service providers, which it had no part in appointing, on the NLC's instructions. Bureaucracy not required by SIU Act The Institute for Security Studies report says the SIU is 'unnecessarily hampered' by delays in the administrative processing of presidential proclamations. First, the SIU had to assess complaints it received 'against the requirements of the SIU Act to determine whether it had jurisdiction'. If the complaint met these criteria, the SIU must then 'submit a motivation for a proclamation to the president via the justice department. A directorate in the [department] again assesses the motivation to see whether it meets jurisdictional requirements and is feasible,' the ISS report found. 'If so, the directorate sends it to the director general of the [department], who may escalate it to the deputy minister, the minister, and ultimately the president for approval.' These delays 'frustrate the purpose of the SIU Act, which is to provide for the swift recovery of state funds. The process of approvals by different justice department officials has evolved through a series of executive decisions and is not required by the SIU Act.' SIU owed R1 billion Since 2001, 300 presidential proclamations have been issued, the ISS said. 'Of these, 164 (55%) have been issued since 2018, during President Cyril Ramaphosa's administration. In the 2024-25 financial year alone, 49 proclamations were issued. Five proclamations have been reported to date in the current year.' The SIU gets its funding from two sources: a budget from the justice department, and it can also bill the institutions it investigates for the services provided and retain these funds. But many of its clients, which are all state institutions, were not paying for the SIU's services, as they are required to do. As of March 2024, the SIU had a debt book exceeding R1 billion owed by 272 state institutions, the ISS found. This led to the SIU launching Project Khokela in October 2024, with letters of demand being issued to these institutions for prompt debt settlement. 'Given the high number of new proclamations, the SIU is likely to face financial strain over the next 24 months. If unresolved, its financial reserves could be depleted in the foreseeable future.'

APRAV raises alarm over RABS Bill's impact on road accident victims
Ngoako Mohlaloga, deputy chairperson of APRAV, and Chairman Pieter de Bruyn addressed the media on what they deem the dangers of reintroducing the RABS Bill as a replacement for the RAF. Image: Zelda Venter The Association for the Protection of Road Accident Victims (APRAV) has voiced concern and strong opposition to the reintroduction of the Road Accident Benefits Scheme (RABS) Bill to Parliament, saying a broken system cannot be fixed by stripping away the rights of road accident victims. 'RABS is not reform; it is regression,' Ngoako Mohlaloga, APRAV's deputy chairperson, said on Wednesday. He and the chairman of the association, Pieter de Bruyn, addressed the media during a briefing held in conjunction with the National Press Club on the 'flaws' of the proposed Bill. APRAV's response follows the reintroduction of RABS by Transport Minister Barbara Creecy, a Bill previously rejected three times by Parliament due to its limitations, unaffordable structure, and impractical design. Trade union Cosatu recently voiced its support for the Bill, which it called a progressive measure aimed at protecting the poor. But De Bruyn, however, warns that it will do the opposite, and explains that it will deny victims access to justice, limit financial support, and overwhelm an already dysfunctional Road Accident Fund (RAF). 'This Bill offers less money, fewer rights, and no path to challenge the system when it fails you. If implemented, it will turn the RAF from a safety net into a bureaucratic trap,' he said. In explaining how it will work, De Bruyn said under RABS, road accident victims will no longer receive once-off compensation. Instead, they will receive monthly annuities, regardless of the severity of injury or loss of income. These payments will be capped, and they will terminate immediately if the victim dies. 'You can't pay for trauma surgeries, prosthetics, or settle urgent debt with a few thousand rand a month. RABS shifts the financial burden to victims when they are at their most vulnerable,' De Bruyn said. RABS also removes the right of victims to take their case to court or to access legal assistance. The system places full administrative control in the hands of the RAF, leaving victims with no way to challenge underpayments, delays, or rejections. As it is based on a no-fault model, RABS ensures that even negligent or intoxicated drivers can qualify for compensation. It erases accountability and creates a system vulnerable to fraud, while victims receive reduced and delayed payouts, De Bruyn explained. He added that RABS will also exclude children over 18 who lose a parent, elderly victims over the age of 60, and foreign nationals, as well as informal workers, caregivers, and those not formally employed. APRAV calls this a system of exclusion — not protection. 'If your 19-year-old son depends on you and you're killed in a crash, he will get nothing,' Mohlaloga explained. APRAV has, meanwhile, presented Parliament with a 10-point evidence-based action plan which it said requires minor practical changes to existing legislation. It called for a transparent, public engagement process to determine what is in the best interests of road accident victims. According to the government, the proposed RABS Bill aims to create a more efficient and equitable system for compensating victims of road accidents by focusing on social security principles rather than individual liability. It also proposes that a new body be established to administer the scheme, replacing the current RAF. The proposed RABS Bill has faced considerable opposition in the past, which has delayed its progress. De Bruyn, however, said while APRAV wants the system to be fixed, the proposed Bill is not the answer. He proposed that the RAF should get back on track and settle claims rather than fighting for a law that has failed three times to pass muster. [email protected]

Outa welcomes dissolving of RAF board and cancelling of license card tender
The RAF board was suspended after many calls to fix the RAF, while it seemed that the licence card tender was awarded irregularly, Outa says. Civil action organisation Outa has welcomed more heads rolling in the Department of Transport as the RAF board is dissolved and the dodgy licence card contract heads to court as the department tries to cancel it. Outa said in a statement that it welcomes this decisive action from Minister Barbara Creecy and urges full accountability. Dissolving the Road Accident Fund (RAF) board is the latest in a string of accountability moves in the department. These steps follow the suspension of RAF CEO Collins Letsoalo in June, along with a series of high-level suspensions and interventions at other entities in the transport portfolio. 'Too much has gone unchecked for too long. Minister Creecy's decision to dissolve the RAF board sends a strong message that poor governance and executive overreach will no longer be tolerated,' Wayne Duvenage, CEO of Outa, says. ALSO READ: Creecy dissolves RAF board amid governance and operational failures Outa noted deep governance failures at RAF He points out that Creecy cited deep governance failures at the RAF, including: Wasteful litigation over accounting standards The mishandled suspension of Letsoalo A flood of default judgments increasing the RAF's liabilities Persistent divisions within the board The longstanding failure to fill critical posts, including chief claims officer and head of legal. 'In our view the board failed to challenge irregular conduct and allowed serious issues to fester, including the suspension of other senior staff without due process, which appeared aimed at silencing internal dissent.' Duvenage says Outa calls on the minister to appoint a new board with the governance depth and political will to reform the RAF, restore its mandate and investigate misconduct under the previous leadership. ALSO READ: RAF CEO placed on special leave with full pay, as MPs grill fund Outa welcomes key changes at Department of Transport He points out that this follows these other key changes in the transport sector: The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) CEO advocate Makhosini Msibi was placed on precautionary suspension by the RTMC board from 1 July. The Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) group executive for enterprise, security and compliance, lieutenant general Mzwandile Petros, was also suspended. The RAF's chief investment officer, Sefotle Modiba, was suspended with Letsoalo. And now, Duvenage says, after months of delay, the Department of Transport finally filed papers in the Pretoria High Court aimed at overturning the controversial R898 million contract awarded to Idemia South Africa to supply a new driving licence card printing machine. In early September last year, Outa exposed serious procurement irregularities in this contract and submitted a detailed report to Creecy, who passed it on to the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) and asked for further investigation. ALSO READ: Why has the questionable driving licence card tender not been overturned? Outa's exposed serious procurement irregularities The AGSA's report, which forms part of the department's court papers, confirms that Creecy requested an investigation on 5 September after 'widespread public concern' over the appointment of Idemia. The request was accompanied by Outa's detailed report outlining allegations of procurement irregularities. 'The minister's communication was accompanied by a letter from Outa that contained specific allegations of an irregular procurement process were made. At the time of receiving the minister's request, auditors at the AGSA were already in the process of reviewing the specified tender as an early regularity audit process,' Duvenage says. The AGSA then expanded its investigation scope. 'The AGSA took our concerns seriously, and we commend Creecy for acting on them. This is how civil society, oversight institutions and public representatives should work together to tackle maladministration.' ALSO READ: Transparency concerns arise over new driving licence card machine tender Outa got the ball rolling to stop Idemia contract The court papers outline multiple flaws in the contract, including: A nearly R400 million cost escalation, from the original cabinet-approved budget of R486 385 million to the signed contract of R898 597 million. Use of outdated pricing. Omission of printing material costs. Evaluation errors in scoring and machine assessments. Bidder non-compliance and weak documentation. The case is brought by the Department of Transport, with the founding affidavit filed by the department's acting director-general, Mathabatha Mokonyama, against Idemia South Africa. (The director-general, advocate James Mlawu, resigned last year with effect from 28 February 2025). The department is asking the court to set aside the Idemia contract, re-run the tender and allow the Department of Home Affairs to print the licence cards in the interim. ALSO READ: DoT urged to pause driving licence card machine procurement Outa says DLCA linked capacity for such a complex render The procurement process was managed by the Driving Licence Card Account (DLCA), an entity in the Department of Transport which the department admits lacked the capacity to handle such a complex procurement. Duvenage points out that while the tender documents refer to 'Idemia Identity and Security – South Africa,' Outa noted that no such entity exists in the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) registry. The contract was ultimately signed with Idemia South Africa, a company that changed its name from Morpho Cards SA in 2021. The department included the AGSA's report, its own internal procurement assessment and an external review as supporting evidence in the case. A notice in the court file confirms that the department is opposing mediation, citing unresolved disputes with Idemia. It is not yet clear whether Idemia will oppose the legal challenge, Duvenage says.
