CENTURION - The Road Accident Fund has blocked the disbursement of R65 million worth of claims and rejected over 2000 fraudulent claims over the last three financial years.
This month, Siyabulela Kima was sentenced to five years imprisonment for submitting a fraudulent claim of R8 300 000.
He alleged that an unknown speeding vehicle overtook a truck, left its lane, and collided with his car.
However, investigations revealed that the accident resulted from Kima having an epileptic attack while driving, and a second vehicle wasn't involved.
McIntosh Polela from the Road Accident Fund spoke to eNCA.
