According to an article published in the Sunday Times this morning, the RAF has a contract to rent 300 chairs at just under R500,000 per month for its Menlyn office. 

Motorists will not be pleased to hear this, as the RAF is almost exclusively funded by a petrol levy. 

For every litre of petrol you buy, R1.93 goes to the RAF. 

Making matters worse is that the RAF is technically insolvent, and the report stated it made a loss of R34.7 billion last year. 

This was despite it collecting R33.3 billion in revenue in the same year.

It is also failing to pay road accident victims, added the report. 

The RAF’s board was dissolved by Transport Minister Blade Nzimande this week, due to massive leadership failures. 

The RAF reportedly acknowledged that renting furniture was expensive and “not the best option”, but could not settle claims immediately, and therefore chose this route.
