IBhodi yeRoad Accident Fund (RAF) iveze umfanekiso wombutho ongasebenzi kakuhle, ongakwazi ukuzimela ngokwawo, nalapho abasebenzi besebenza phantsi “kwemeko yoloyiko”.
USihlalo webhodi okwethutyana, uKenneth Brown, uxelele iKomiti emiSisigxina yePalamente yeeAkhawunti zikaRhulumente (SCOPA) ngoLwesibini ukuba inkqubo yeRAF esekwe kumaphepha ekuphatheni amabango indala kakhulu, kwaye xa kuziwa kumabango anxulumene nokusweleka kwabantu, ayinabuntu.
Le bhodi, ephela ixesha layo leenyanga ezintandathu kwiintsuku ezintlanu ezizayo, iyangqina kuphando olujongene nolawulo-gwenxa kule ngxowa-mali.
UBrown akazange ajikeleze amazwi, exelela iPalamente ukuba kusekude phambi kokuba kulungiswe inkqubo ephukileyo.
Uthe: “Ubukhulu bomsebenzi mkhulu kakhulu. Ngumsebenzi omkhulu, andizukuxoka. Umsebenzi ophambi kwethu uza kuba nzima.”
UBrown uthe nemali yombutho isesemngciphekweni omkhulu.
Ingxowa-mali yayifuna ukuhlawula amabango amalunga neebhiliyoni ezingama-R20 ngoDisemba, ngelixa yayinebhiliyoni ezingaphantsi kwe-R5 ebhankini.
Uthe into “eyophule umqolo wenkamela” kukuba iRAF yaphulukana netyala elalimalunga nesithintelo seentsuku ezili-180 sokumisa ukuhlawulwa kwamabango.
UBrown uthe ukungenelela kwebhodi kukwatyhile ukuba kukho abasebenzi abamalunga nama-300 ababekade bemisiwe ngokungekho sikweni, abathi ekubuyeni kwabo bangabelwa misebenzi. Ngelo xesha, kukho abanye abasebenzi abamalunga nama-400 abaqeshwe ngeekhontrakthi.
