The Passenger Rail Agency (Prasa) said it has received a preliminary report from the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) on irregularities in security contracts.
Prasa’s chairperson Khanyisile Kweyama said disciplinary action will be taken against some individuals but at present, they cannot reveal names.
In the Prasa Annual Report, Kweyama wrote, “during this period the Board put in controls to stabilize the organisation and took remedial action, including but not limited to disciplinary action, against those found to have flouted corporate governance, as well as institution civil litigation and criminal proceedings to recover monies lost by Prasa due to irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and awarding of unlawful contracts.”
The SIU is continuing with its probe at the rail agency.
