Fin24 reports that the board of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) has placed various executives on special leave or suspension.
According to a statement issued on Friday, the board decided to act on allegations of improper, irregular, corrupt, fruitless and wasteful expenditure against the implicated employees. Company secretary Lindikaya Zide, chief information officer Chris Mbatha and CEO of Prasa corporate real estate solutions Tara Ngubane were placed on special leave. Tumi Mohube, general manager of enterprise risk, was suspended. "The suspension or putting on special leave of four executives is to ensure a fair process based on a principle of innocent until proven guilty," interim CEO Dr Nkosinathi Sishi indicated. Board chairperson Khanyisile Kweyama said the decisions had been taken to strengthen Prasa as non-compliance with laws had impacted commuters and passengers and he added that “the extent of improper, fruitless and wasteful expenditure that is reported by various independent professionals shows a disturbing culture of impunity which has to be stemmed at once."
