In this powerful episode of The Social Impact Show, we sit down with Noluthando Mvabaza, CSR Manager at the Road Accident Fund (RAF), to explore how one of South Africa’s most critical public institutions is turning corporate social responsibility into a force for systemic change.
🔹 From Payouts to Empowerment:
Discover how the RAF has shifted from merely compensating accident victims to restoring dignity through skills development, rehabilitation programs, and targeted support for people with disabilities.
🔹 Innovation That Saves Lives:
Learn about the Driver Wellness Bus—a groundbreaking mobile unit staffed by unemployed youth (including optometrists and nurses) that delivers pre-crash prevention and post-crash care in high-accident zones.
🔹 Public Sector, Private-Sector Mindset:
Noluthando reveals how the RAF combines government mandate with private-sector agility, aligning its work with ESG principles and proving that state institutions can lead with empathy, innovation, and measurable impact.
💡 "We don’t do ‘once-off’ charity. Real impact is intentional, sustainable, and designed to rebuild lives." — Noluthando Mvabaza
