Student accuses lawyers of 'holding on' to R900k RAF payout

Soweto - A car accident survivor is at war with his lawyers for paying him meagre monthly amounts from his R961 000 Road Accident Fund payout. Lebohang Ngobeni, 24, of Dobsonville, Soweto, claims his family have been struggling to make ends meet because he hasn't received full access to his claim that the RAF paid out in May last year.

Ngobeni sustained multiple head and knee injuries after he was hit by a speeding vehicle in 2006. His mother lodged the claim the same year, and although the RAF settled his claim last year, his trust fund has not been finalised yet. Ngobeni has been receiving money through an investment fund from his lawyers at CN Sweetnam.

The marketing student from Damelin said he had not received definitive responses from his lawyers about why his trust is taking long to be finalised.
