Major League DJz‘s member, Bandile Mbere is reportedly taking the Road Accident Fund (RAF) to court over a rejected R3-million car accident claim.
In December 2020, the DJ duo were involved in a car accident on their way to an event in Middleburg, Mpumalanga.
In a statement shared by the event organiser at the time, only Banele made it to the event because Bandile was injured.
According to Sunday World, Bandile revealed in court papers he sustained a knee fracture and an injury on his right knee ligament and also suffered psychological trauma.
In addition, he said he suffered R900,000 in general damages, R50,000 for emergency medical treatment, and R2.4 million for past and future loss of income, and is seeking more than R3.3 million compensation from RAF.
The accident fund reportedly rejected the claim, stating Bandile did not sustain serious injuries to get compensation and that he failed to complete a doctor’s serious injury report.
“Accordingly, the defendant is not obliged to compensate the plaintiff for non-pecuniary loss as alleged or at all,” the court papers said, as quoted by the publication.
