Scopa chair appalled by RAF 'horror story'
Members of Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts have been met with a sea of claims lying in boxes at the offices of the Road Accident Fund in Pretoria.
"To say we are horrified would be an understatement at the extent of the crisis which besieges RAF, particularly in light of the observations that we have made today. Clearly, this institution is in trouble," said Scopa committee chairperson Mkhuleko Hlengwa.
Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts also found that some staff members at the RAF have also been forced to work from home after the sheriff attached the agency's furniture.
The entity's board and CEO were, however, a no-show.

Hlengwa explained what else they found on their visit.
"The work environment here, to use a phrase from one of the employees, is 'toxic', 'culture of intimidation'," Hlengwa explained.
"To us, it comes as no surprise because our interactions with the executives and the board of RAF have, for all intents and purposes have not been positive.
"The stand-off with the board, the executives and the auditor-general is the clearest indication to date for us as to why that stand-off would arise because what we have seen today there's a horror story."
