News24 reports that following a disciplinary hearing, the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) has axed its general manager responsible for risk management, Matome Mohube.
He is also the former company secretary. On Friday Prasa indicated that the disciplinary hearing had looked into charges involving the falsification of board resolutions of a meeting held on 28 February 2011 dealing with the submissions of three companies being considered for different services. Group CEO Dr Nkosinathi Sishi said the rail agency was "determined rid Prasa of corruption, nepotism and administrative inefficiencies". Commenting on the decision, Khanyisile Kweyama, chairperson of Prasa's interim board, said that the board was committed to leaving Prasa in a better state than that in which it was found. Transport Minister Blade Nzimande appointed the interim board to turn around the ailing rail agency in April 2018. Also on Friday, it was reported that Prasa had suspended its head of security in the Western Cape, as well as two other security officers, due to an investigation into whether there had been a security lapse that resulted in the burning of 12 train coaches.
