South African motorists could face a new financial burden as the government considers introducing a vehicle-linked fee to help fund the struggling Road Accident Fund. Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy has said that the department  is reviewing the RAF’s funding model, with a separate mandatory fee attached to annual vehicle licence renewals or initial registrations among the options being considered. Unions have also rejected the idea of a new vehicle tax, warning that it would add further financial pressure on workers who are already struggling with rising costs.
