The unions have accused Mpondo of acting in bad faith in trying to address the state-owned rail and bus operator’s challenges, saying he contributed to its financial woes.
"How many new appointments has he made do date? Mpondo contributed to the cash flow problem after he appointed his panel of technical advisers for his 12-month tenure on February 5," said Sonja Carstens, spokesperson of the United National Transport Union , the majority union at Prasa.
Carstens said the turnaround plan Mpondo shared with unions during a meeting in January did not look convincing."Untu told him that his plan looked like a ‘cut and paste’ piece, [with] some wording precisely the same as some of his five predecessors," she said. The other issues Untu hoped to raise at Friday’s meeting were that"the now disbanded board of Prasa had decided to suspend the services of 20 security companies at the end of October 2019 without putting an alternative in place", said Carstens.
