 ActionSA is demanding the immediate criminal prosecution of Collins

Letsoalo, the former CEO of the Road Accident Fund (RAF), after he

repeatedly refused to comply with a parliamentary summons from the

Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA). 

 The refusal is not just seen as a personal act of defiance but, according

to ActionSA, an attack on Parliament’s constitutional authority and

oversight mandate. 

 SCOPA is investigating serious allegations against Letsoalo, including

financial mismanagement, the use of excessive security, and

09:35

questionable procurement practices. 

 Among the most troubling claims: Letsoalo allegedly spent tens of

millions on his personal security detail, including an armoured BMW

and bodyguards. 

 The former CEO, through his legal team, argues that SCOPA has no

mandate to conduct the broad inquiry and calls the summons

“unconstitutional.” 

 In response to his non-compliance, SCOPA has agreed to issue a

formal summons under the Powers, Privileges & Immunities Act,

which could lead to criminal consequences (fines or imprisonment). 

 ActionSA says Letsoalo’s defiance sets a dangerous precedent:

powerful public officials must not be allowed to evade accountability. 

 The party is also calling on Parliament’s Speaker to refer the matter for

prosecution, warning that the integrity of parliamentary oversight

depends on firm legal action. Instagram · Twitter
