News24 reports that former top Treasury official Kenneth Brown has been named the interim chair of the Road Accident Fund (RAF), two weeks after the board was dissolved. Brown is currently a non-executive director at the Development Bank of Southern Africa.
He previously served at the National Treasury, where he held several senior roles over a 19-year period. In 2013, he was appointed as the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO). He also served as Head of Intergovernmental Relations for six years. He holds a number of degrees. The RAF has been under intense scrutiny since its CEO, Collins Letsoalo, was placed on special leave in late May and later suspended.
The RAF has been without a permanent board since mid-July, when it was dissolved by Transport Minister Barbara Creecy. The Minister said at the time the decision to dissolve the board followed “persistent governance and operational challenges” that “undermined its ability to discharge its statutory mandate”.
