The SACP leader and minister of transport in the Ramaphosa cabinet, Blade Nzimande, described the Road Accident Fund’s board as dysfunctional. According to him, they are fighting like children and must resign.
There are currently five vacant posts on the board that are not filled yet.
The fund has been struggling for a long time to pay out for accident casualties and it is attributed to the failure of leadership in the fund.
Political analysts, however, question Nzimande’s appointment of Sibusiso Sithole as Prasa’s chief executive officer despite his past and his minimal knowledge of the transport sector.
The appointment of incompetent and unqualified officials continues regardless of Ramaphosa’s assurances that state institutions will be purged of corruption.
