A Free State farmer who says he can no longer do much of the physical work his livelihood depends on has been awarded a claim for loss of earnings from the Road Accident Fund (RAF), according to IOL.
The report describes the impact of the injury or condition on the farmer’s ability to work, including that his days start early and his routine is heavily focused on physical labour. The matter centres on compensation linked to reduced earning capacity rather than a dispute over the underlying livelihood itself.
IOL frames the case as the successful outcome of the farmer’s claim, indicating that the RAF is held liable for the income losses associated with his incapacity.
