The Portfolio Committee on Transport will this week begin conducting countrywide public hearings on the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Bill.

On Tuesday the committee will listen to the communities of North West and Gauteng, before continuing to Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Bill is intended to replace the Road Accident Fund Act and to improve administration of benefits and payouts to accident victims. The Bill will also provide for a social security scheme for the victims of road accidents and establish the Road Accident Benefit Scheme Administrator to administer and implement the scheme.
