We unpack a major legal victory that could affect hundreds of thousands of South Africans whose Road Accident Fund claims were rejected over the past few years. The Supreme Court of Appeal has ruled that stricter RAF claim requirements introduced in 2022 were unlawful, opening the door for many rejected claims to be resubmitted before the September deadline. The ruling could have
massive financial implications for the already struggling RAF, with estimates suggesting nearly 600,000 claims may be revived. To help us understand what this judgment means for ordinary road accident victims, legal processes, and the future of the RAF, we are joined by legal expert Thabo Masombuka.

South Africa has officially emerged as Africa’s leader in AI adoption, according to new Microsoft research, showing that more people and businesses in the country are embracing artificial intelligence tools faster than anywhere else on the continent. At the same time, the global AI race has intensified after a US jury ruled against Elon Musk in his high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. The case reignited questions around ethics, profit, regulation and who should ultimately control the future of AI. To unpack this, we’re joined by tech expert Olivier Tshimbidi.
