9000 lawyers under investigation for RAF-related complaints

[@modisemakokwe4256]

EVEN THOSE CRIMINAL DOCTOR'S WHO HELP THE LAWYERS MUST BE STRIPED OF EVER BEING A DOCTOR AGAIN

[@CameronNel-vv9vq]

Clearly just an idiot thay believes eskom will be fixed too

[@marabunya]

The first and last time I watched an interview by CEO Collins Letsoalo I was left very impressed with him.This position hasn't changed after watching him speak again today.

[@mossfairy3060]

This is just disgusting. My domestic worker is now crippled from a hit and run. Her' lawyer' has taken her bank card saying its the only way she can get the money owed by the RAF. I WILL CALL THE NUMBER given to try and help her get what's due b4 the lawyer steals it..

[@perthkraya3209]

Please do and it would be nice to hear what the reason is. It is illegal to take someone's bank card

[@tebatsomoleko862]

How is she doing 😢

[@mossfairy3060]

@tebatsomoleko862 thank you for asking. She is still waiting for her money and she is battling to claim from the R350 a month I try where I can to help her, but we all battling to keep our head above the water with the cost of living.. We canceled her pin for that card that the lawyer took and have given the RAf her new banking details.. it's just a wait now

[@vjchabane9795]

Claiming from RAF is not simple. They’ll under-settle your claim

[@pulengmosai1650]

True ive ceen that with my frnd

[@counselsani5127]

Collens is not being honest. The RAF is still unable to handle its work load. Some files have went missing in their watch.

[@angelmahlangu5900]

I think they get missing because the lawyer has got the cash out,ate the money and now they don't want to pay the beneficiary.My uncle's file got missing after his lawyer ate his money.

[@elvinnybonjovi10]

It's embarrassing to day the CEO is not honest. He's talking about the same corruption of alliance between lawyers, Dr's and RAF stuff who are today facing disciplinary hearings. Ofcourse files don't get lost by themselves. Lawyers in connivance with RAF stuff make sure that these files get lost so that beneficiaries don't get what's due to them. That's what he's saying here.

[@portiamolelekeng9791]

Lawyers do scam their clients, Im talking from experience. The LPC does not have the will to do anything to these legal practitioners

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

LPC is very CORRUPT.

[@Professor_Stark]

Nothing can ever shock me regarding corruption in our country.

[@InfoHubZA]

Some don't like him, some do. But he's one CEO who's very specific about what he seeks to do and stands by that.

[@counselsani5127]

LPC should have been invited on behalf of lawyers.

[@gmmope]

The LPC itself is corrupt and has some bad apples

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

Invite LPC to make matters WORSE.

[@Kalfie-yv2ni]

Many honest drs stopped doing RAF patients because they never get paid by RAF. Useless like any other government department.

[@HendrikaHendricks-dd9nz]

What is happening in our beloved Country where and when will it all end God have Mercy

[@giftsibanyoni1807]

Lol this guy wants to close the taps for lawyers 😂

[@dineomapaletsebe43]

Blaming Lawyers for the RAF problems 😮they hardly reply Claimants

[@pulengmosai1650]

Specially black firms

[@modisemakokwe4256]

Strip those lawyers of degrees and abilities to practice law ever again,same lawyers who always take the state to court through NGO's hence there is so much happening in South Africa like your hijacked building NGO'S fighting tooth and nail to protect the hijackers and criminals.

[@make-peacelifecoach4940]

I thought we go to school and get educated in order to become better People not Professional Thugs and Swindlers....

[@upsidedowngrief]

Collins. While my mother was in ICU you office RAF phoned me and offered her R75000.00 settlement. While her hospital bill was already over R1,3 million. Who are the thieves. She was on full time 24/7 oxygen and a tetraplegia after her accident. You REFUSED her oxygen, medication, operations, therapy. So tell me Collins WHO ARE THE THIEFS.

[@upsidedowngrief]

Collens himself with the RAF staff is totally incompetent. Always blaming others for the poor performance. He has a total disregard for Court Orders Writ of Executions and Undertakings. Spending R10,6BILLION on legal fees instead of paying out Court Orders. He should be ashamed.....for that he needs a conscience.

[@phantsi_]

Thts wat his say, remove the lawyers so he wont need 2 spend tht 10 billion

[@trustingnobody628]

The SIU must also sleuth the RAF itself. How did it happen that lawyers got double-payments for a case? Are they not working with RAF officials? I'm smelling a fat rat here. Regarding lawyers, investigation must start from as fast as 2000. There's a lot, with RAF lawyers included, of course.

[@CharlieC738]

True! Sounds like an inside job. Has to be in order to get it done

[@BhabenKalita-iy7hy]

Jumi kalita

[@TshephoMorapama]

I have been involve in car accidend since 2021 my question is that,can I go to RAF office to confirm if my claim are going well

[@manyattatalks8574]

I was involved in one in 2018, it's only in 2024 that I will hopefully get my RAF doctor appointment for checking before settlement. Just be patient

[@ncamsilezwane5746]

Lawyers are scammers 😮😮

[@sifisotwalamedia]

Biggest scammers

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

Profession of thieves

[@bodlanivuyokazi3290]

I hope they will also recover the money please...

[@emmanuellamogane]

I had an accident back in 2013 and the RAF and only when l found a private attorney the RAF wanted to pay out without taking me to specialist's to know how bad l have been affected. Yes a decade later I'm still waiting and trial in 2025 and at times it is not all said that is true but going private is better than not knowing my future issues. Then what do we do as the society when no one is entirely honest.

[@mahareng]

Justice for victims and or their families. It takes long to get the compensation, its even more difficult when victims get swindled/ manipulated with their setback- injuries.....so if the learned jurists did misbehave....they must face the consequences of the unethical behaviour

[@CasperGroenewald]

What about myself who was advised to not take a lawyer everything went with government lawyer order's, but till now no payment what is problem since 2017.

[@NolutandoNingiza]

In 2016 RAF visited my nearby town. I went there to check and it was said RAF compansation fund was released, when I asked them how much was it, they said they are not allowed to do so

[@vjchabane9795]

9000 lawyers… it’s just an exaggeration 😂

[@jabuphakathi37]

Reporting to Lpc is waste of time

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

LPC is a big SCAMMER protecting CRIMINAL Lawyers.

[@cmaurice9133]

Thats crazy. 9000 probaly just a small number.

[@BeverleyMoses]

YES SIR THATS VERY TRUE

[@georgekomape855]

This whole interview was entirely about discrediting lawyers. If it was impartial a lawyer would have been called to counter replay the allegations made by the CEO.

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

You really defend nonsense

[@lavadome9686]

You want to tell me that you don't know that lawyers are swindling their clients or you also part of that problem?

[@mamotalemankoe3775]

I am a law student and personally know a number of other practicing lawyers. Believe me, many, many, many, MANY, lawyers are thieves and snakes. The profession tends to attract that type(but not always). A person who fully understands the rules knows how best to bend them to the brink without technically breaking them.

[@jabuphakathi37]

Mina ngadlala umeli wase Mampondweni wahlangana ngami neNigerian eliyi drug dealer an illegal eSouth Africa,ligoloza ukukhokha I rent

[@phokoanephasha229]

I wholly concur with you, my learned friend.

[@AudreySeloane-th7oq]

I think m not well informed whn coming to issues of lawyers claiming for clients..but I want to know why RAF doesn't hire its lawyers to handle Claims ...?

[@mkholom]

Why are we not told what is the reason behind all this? I'm sure if you do a proper job, you'll realise who is the bigger culprit.

[@mawazafela6070]

consider using traditional leadership structures to spread the news ... lawyers have proven to be extremely greedy service providers ... to them their next client bears the burden of their (lawyers) imagined best life...

[@thabangeteekay1390]

My younger brother past on I guess 1997 on on accident happened in Newcastle masiphephe drive that took over 25 young students but since than my family never got anything from RAF..

[@dipunomatlala3120]

Hi there. RAF pay out on death only If there is a loss of income and a minors life is negatively affected. If your brother had a child, the child is the one who is supposed to claim. If not, no claim. Naturally, parents take care of children, not the otherway

[@GwabiniMfwethu]

He’s not wrong about the LPC being a ladies and gentlemen’s club; remember what it took for them to discipline Zuko Nonxuba after he stole more than R340 million from his clients… the disabled children?

[@luthandotyler8714]

This one does not want to pay RAF money they coming up with this silly tactics

[@vjchabane9795]

Exactly

[@ZimasileMatika]

One sided story...yet there two sides of the coin...a legal practitioner must also be called to open a tin of worms on the side of Raf

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

People thought lawyers are reliable people all along

[@bontle4157]

Not anymore

[@ProphetNjajula]

I wanna asked if the records at hospital disappear, what the next steps you do as RAF?

[@NolutandoNingiza]

I was involved in the car accident then i lost my child, my injuries were knee fracture and both ribs nothing i got from raf but claim was done through certain lawyer but nothing i got even a cent. I cant walk properly, I am a scrab

[@GwabiniMfwethu]

What about RAF’s decision to challenge the AG’s report? I thought we were gonna hear it from the horse’s mouth..?

[@Samke377]

I lost my husband 21 December 2012, i open a case but still now road accident doesn't pay for me what can i do I'm not working

[@gertcroukamp5287]

Pointing fingers? Kettle calling the pot black.

[@zenzonxele9509]

The udder of RAF is to milky for lawyers and doctors 😋

[@rebeccamaredi1974]

Even me I have problem about RAF since 2/11/2016 when i call for help to this number you giving us , their receptionist tells me they paid in 2018,and they not want me to continue with this,and i have all references from accident and Hospital,(so please i need help)🙏🏾

[@jsa3458]

Its true.

[@nomaswazishabalala508]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wololoh Mmmmh I pray for the defence of Senzo Meyiwa trial please Lord protect the chosen Advocates forsenzo meiyiwa trial ntonintoni mmmmmmh

[@connieledwaba1665]

I also think i was robbed.My husband died in a car accident,tge attorneys opened a file but after a month i was called only to be told,there is no case.But I had a feeling that they are lying to me. I did not know what to do,it was in 2007.

[@dineomapaletsebe43]

Call RAF and ask them

[@BhabenKalita-iy7hy]

O E RAF. Case Jumi kalita

[@reguelmogohloro965]

Ah but what kind of a question is that?how can a person who has suffered abbressions on the ankle claim brain injury whilst they submitted their hospital records and experts reports in support of their claim? This is why julius is encouraging journalists to do their own investigations and be informed prior to doing any interview.

[@elsiekgole2340]

Where can I report these lawyers? Please help

[@jabuphakathi37]

Lpc also known as Law society

[@elsiekgole2340]

@jabuphakathi37 Thank you though we tried will try again 🙏

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

COLLINS give me your details so that i can send another corrupt case.

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

I think he must give us an INVESTIGATING officer's number so that we can help him deal with these corrupt officials.

[@Mary-Mary731]

May I please get Mr Collins Letsoalo's email address. I've got a RAF Lawyer complaint. Please!🙏

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

I want this guy's email/cellphone also he seems to be right on track.

[@agjones101]

This is so ridiculously stupid o just cannot believe it can make any kind of media coverage To start with i doubt there are even 9000; regiatered attorneys in South Africa, let alone so many who would be criminals. seriously!!!!

[@jameskillu9171]

It is time to eat, and the lawyers cant be left out,

[@hgfku-tn6hb]

Don't be dumb. There's a certain amount that lawyers should get and not whole amount of money as they did

[@trustingnobody628]

Better concentrate in the affairs of your own country, Zimbabwean. Don't you feel ashamed to always poke your nose in the affairs of this country?

[@phumlamazibuko3003]

James knows nothing about SA laws😂 all his comments show his stupidity in the foreign country. All his comments😂😂😂😂 anyone can pick up that this Zimbos hate his own country rather get bored in SA affairs..

[@phokoanephasha229]

This purpoted interview has been cooked.

[@InfoHubZA]

Eat it then.

9000 Lawyers..? Anyone know how many of these were Cadre Appointments..?

[@KhayaJela-sq2jy]

RAF must give us names of these SUSPECTED lawyers so that we can stop using them.

[@husainalli]

Thats like a merry go round charge there by Law Society. Every other year theres a bunch of them.😂😂 maybe they should set up a kangaroo court outside the offices to do the usual farcical 5 years go home and play golf then return to work.

[@kennethfreeman1448]

[@nawaalmpofu1934]
