It took only a few hours for a Soweto man to empty his partially blind cousins bank account of a R421,000 Road Accident Fund payout.
Within a month, the unemployed relative behind the theft allegedly bought a second-hand BMW, threw a party for his childs birthday and extended his mothers house, only to later claim he had won the windfall from online sports betting.
Now the victim of the theft, Thabo Khoza, 39, who was hit by a car seven years ago while selling food on the streets, cant afford medical consultation fees with a doctor. Khoza broke one of his legs during the crash, lost hearing and has constant headaches which need medical attention.
