EWN reports that the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) is expected to hand over a report to Transport Minister Dipuo Peters on Friday about former acting CEO Collins Letsoalo's salary issue.  

Letsoalo was dismissed with immediate effect on Monday after he claimed the Board had approved his R5.9 million salary.  Board chairperson Popo Molefe denied this and said proper procedures had not been followed.  According to the Board, Letsoalo should have known his salary wouldn't change as part of his secondment.  But Letsoalo responded that the Board offered him what he was entitled to for the position.  Prasa has gone ahead and appointed a new acting CEO while the process of appointing a permanent CEO is underway.  Letsoalo has insisted that only the Transport Minister can revoke his secondment.
