PRASA CEO allegedly forced out because he refused jobs for pals instructions
1 March 2019
The Democratic Alliance has been reliably informed by a source in the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) of the real reasons behind the resignation of Interim Group CEO, Sibusiso Sithole, with immediate effect.
On Thursday, the PRASA Board issued a surprise “Internal Communiqué” which announced the resignation of Sithole with immediate effect. Sithole has held this position for a mere 9 months.
A whistle blower has revealed to the DA that although Sithole has proved to have been utterly ineffectual in handling the myriad of challenges facing PRASA, this was not the real reason for his resignation.
Our source says that Sithole was in fact pushed out by the Board and Transport Minister Blade Nzimande because he refused to heed to their bidding to appoint certain people into strategic positions within this parastatal. It is clear that the corruption and rot within PRASA is continuing unabated.
