South Africa’s Constitutional Court (ConCourt) dismisses applications by the Road Accident Fund (RAF) seeking leave to appeal earlier judgments. The court rules that the applications have no reasonable prospect of success, effectively ending the RAF’s attempt to continue contesting those decisions.
The case centers on RAF efforts related to claims involving “illegal foreigners.” While the outlets report the same outcome, they focus on the court’s procedural ruling. Both The Citizen and Moneyweb describe ConCourt’s rejection of the leave-to-appeal applications, rather than re-litigating the underlying merits of the earlier judgments in their coverage.
Together, the reports indicate that ConCourt is not taking up the matter at this stage. The legal dispute therefore remains governed by the earlier judgments that the RAF had sought to challenge. The key common point across sources is the court’s conclusion that the RAF’s applications cannot proceed.
