Road Accident Fund

 

The Road Accident Fund hereby, in accordance with section 17(4A)(a) of the Road Accident Fund Act, No. 56 of 1996, adjusts and makes known that the amounts referred to in subsection 17(4)(c) are hereby adjusted to R390 664.00, with effect from 31 July 2026, to counter the effects of CPI inflation.

 

Note: The CPI index based on the new “basket and weights” was used to calculate this adjustment, effective from 31 July 2026 (with base year December 2024 = 100). The CPI index for May 2008 was 43.7 due to the December 2024 rebasing. The CPI index for May 2026 was 106.7. This adjustment was calculated by multiplying the R 160 000 limit by 106.7/43.7.
