The transport minister says positions will be advertised for the rail agency, which has been under an administrator since late 2019
Board positions for the embattled Passenger Rail Agency of SA will be advertised in the next few weeks and a new board will be put in place soon, transport minister Fikile Mbalula said on Monday.
Prasa, which is responsible for delivering rail services, a vital ingredient to boost productivity and stimulate economic growth, has over the years been engulfed in allegations of corruption and mismanagement. This is while the country’s rail services continue to flounder, with Cape Town rail lines being the hardest hit.
The situation was so dire that minutes of board meetings were not adequately recorded, in contravention of the Companies Act. Minutes provide evidence that directors have met their statutory and regulatory obligations. Parliament has previously stated its intention to have former board members banned from holding directorships. Previous board members include former chair Khanyisile Kweyama; Sango Ntsaluba, founder of audit and advisory firm SizweNtsalubaGobodo; and Nazir Alli, former CEO of the SA National Roads Agency Limited.
