RAF management muzzled employees during investigations, SIU says
The SIU updated the standing committee on public accounts on six investigations involving almost R400 million. The Road Accident Fund (RAF) is littered with administrative challenges, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has said. The investigative body provided an update to the standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) on Friday regarding its scrutiny of the RAF. In addition to listing the funds recovered and cases pending litigation, the SIU said that RAF management stalled their efforts at every opportunity. RAF irregularities The SIU's work with the RAF is focused on procurement and tender irregularities, duplicate claims and payments, service provider contracts and fraudulent claims. From its investigations into the RAF, the SIU has recovered R317 million, flagged 20 instances that require disciplinary referrals and referred 20 further cases for the NPA to pursue. The SIU listed six unique investigations into the RAF that will be subject to civil litigation or special tribunal action. The rand value of the irregularities subject to the six SIU investigations is R397.2 million. The bulk of that figure comes from widespread irregularities in a project initially promoted to clear the RAF's payment backlog. Among the other five are a R12 million cleaning contract, a R53 million fleet contract and a five-year R17 million office building contract. Investigation 'interference' The SIU highlighted several delays in the investigations based primarily on non-cooperation from the RAF. Information requested was not accurately relayed, with some requests not being responded to at all. 'There were instances where the SIU had to resort to criminal cases against RAF executives for failure to adhere to a lawful subpoena issued by the SIU,' it said. The SIU's methodology allows flagged employees the opportunity to reply to any accusation levelled against them prior to disciplinary processes being followed, but RAF executives micromanaged this procedure. 'The SIU noted with concern a directive issued by the RAF to its employees in respect of the right of reply, wherein employees were directed to forward the SIU's right of reply to the RAF management, such that responses to the SIU are well coordinated,' the entity stated. 'The directive is thus viewed by the SIU to have a direct compromise on the investigation and may amount to interference,' it elaborated. No plan B The SIU said that much of the RAF's problems stem from the fund having dissolved its panel of attorneys in 2020 without a backup plan. 'The RAF then decided to use the services of state attorneys. However, the process to get the state attorneys' appearance in court took longer and at this time, the RAF had no representation in court for at least a period of 12 months,' investigators said. Investigations are continuing, but the SIU highlighted areas of concern that needed to be addressed urgently. These weaknesses include database accuracy, multiple writs of execution issued for single payments, delays in reconciling the RAF bank account and the RAF leaving itself exposed to litigation.

African Bank gives 10% stake to workers in inclusive employee ownership scheme
This initiative allocates a significant 10% ownership of African Bank Holdings Limited (ABHL) shares to its permanent employees, fostering a culture of inclusivity and shared responsibility among its workforce. African Bank has embarked on a new journey that empowers its own permanent workers with the launch of the iKamva Lethu (Our Future) Employee Share Ownership Scheme (ESOS) in 2024. The bank on Wednesday said this was a symbolic move towards realigning its mission of being a bank for the people, by the people, for the betterment of all South Africans. This initiative allocates a significant 10% ownership of African Bank Holdings Limited (ABHL) shares to its permanent employees, fostering a culture of inclusivity and shared responsibility among its workforce. In a bid to ensure equitable access to ownership, the ESOS provides all employees—regardless of race, age, tenure, or seniority—with a stake in the company's success. This significant decision aims not only to enhance employee retention and commitment but also to empower the workforce, giving them a vested interest in the bank's future growth and prosperity. As part of the scheme, executive directors, prescribed officers, and the company secretary of African Bank and ABHL have also been awarded conditional ESOS units, reflecting a cohesive commitment among the bank's leadership and staff. The awards come with an initial deemed value of R53 310, which will vest as ordinary shares upon meeting specified performance criteria set forth in the scheme. Each conditional award is governed by rigorous retention, forfeiture, and performance conditions, ensuring that awards are vested based on the achievement of key organisational objectives. This structural framework aims to incentivise employees and align their interests with the bank's long-term goals. According to Section 6.45 of the Debt and Specialist Securities Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, the bank has duly received clearance for these off-market transactions, thus keeping shareholders informed and maintaining transparency regarding these pivotal moves. As African Bank embraces this innovative approach to employee engagement, its leadership envisions a future where both the bank and its employees thrive together, laying the groundwork for a sustainable banking model aimed at serving the community.

Arctic Trucks Has Worked Off-Road Magic on the Toyota Land Cruiser
Good news, folks: the off-road-minded customizers at Arctic Trucks have just dropped an extra-badass version of the latest Toyota Land Cruiser the company calls the 'AT37.' Even better news: it's going to be available for purchase here in the U.S. For this particular build, the Icelandic shop took a regular J250-generation Land Cruiser and went to town on key areas, which should improve performance off the pavement. The name itself comes from the BFGoodrich 37-inch tires that come standard; you can opt for either all-terrain or mud-terrain versions. Those tires wrap around bespoke forged alloy wheels, and it all rides on a new two-way adjustable suspension system developed in partnership with R53: the new monotube dampers are designed to maximize off-road performance with increased travel, and ride height is increased 1.6 inches above stock. Arctic Trucks says it even made changes to the drivetrain to ensure a factory-like experience with the new suspension and tires. Fitting all these new parts necessitated body changes to accommodate the wider track, leading Arctic Trucks to design some very cool-looking widebody fender flares. (Also cool: the flares include a recessed tire pressure guide for optimum PSI both with and without a heavy load.) Unique aluminum side steps with rubberized inserts have been fitted, and mud guards are designed to integrate with the new fenders. Of course, 'Arctic Trucks' logos can be found sprinkled around the SUV. The interior even features a special gear selector and dash trim materials along with sills and mats designed by Arctic Trucks. When it comes to actually purchasing one of these rigs, Arctic Trucks says it's partnering with Toyota dealers here in the United States, meaning you should be able to take delivery of the Land Cruiser AT37 straight off the dealer lot. Road & Track has reached out to Arctic Trucks about pricing and delivery info, and we'll update this post should more details become available.
