The Road Accident Fund (RAF)

The RAF is a fund set up in terms of the Road Accident Fund Act 56 of 1996, (as amended by Act 19 of 2005). It is funded by a levy/tax which is included in the price of petrol and diesel which is sold in South Africa. This is known as a fuel levy. Everyone who buys petrol or diesel pays a little extra for each litre of fuel and this levy goes to the RAF.
