Sunday World reports that the newly appointed board of the Cross Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA) has lifted the suspension of its CEO, Lwazi Mboyi, following direct intervention by Transport Minister Barbara Creecy.
This decision comes despite a detailed whistleblower memorandum alleging serious maladministration and qualification fraud against Mboyi, which was sent to the former board, Creecy, parliament, and labour unions. The memorandum, penned by senior agency officials including former employee Botsang Moiloa, catalogues a series of allegations claiming Mboyi was irregularly appointed and has since presided over a purge of staff.
Mboyi was initially suspended in October for administrative issues, but the Department of Transport later declared that suspension irregular, citing a lack of ministerial concurrence. Moiloa has expressed frustration that the CBRTA has failed to investigate these claims. In response, CBRTA spokesperson Amanda Hlahleni dismissed the allegations as baseless and linked to an aggrieved former employee.
