The Road Accident Fund (RAF) is accused of failing to reinstate allegedly "unfairly" dismissed and suspended employees as directed.

When the now axed RAF chief executive officer, Collins Letsoalo, took over about five years ago, more than 100 RAF employees from the Durban, Cape Town and Gauteng offices were allegedly unfairly dismissed and suspended.

After Letsoalo was suspended as CEO, the newly appointed board issued directives that all the allegedly unfairly dismissed and suspended employees must be reinstated.

The standing committee on public accounts is waiting for Letsoalo to come and answer questions in parliament regarding RAF failures.

He was subpoenaed after repeated attempts to get him to voluntarily appear before the committee were unsuccessful.
