The National Transport Department has let go of its Board Member and Chairperson of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (PRASA), Leonard Ramatlakane.

misuse of one of its properties in Cape Town by Ramatlakane without following
proper processes.
In a statement, the department’s Collen Msibi said Transport
Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga has expressed her appreciation to the chair for his
leadership. According to Msibi, thirteen rail lines were recovered by PRASA,
thanks to Ramatlakane.
"This exceeded the target of ten (10) rail lines that
were initially earmarked by PRASA for recovery. It is under his watch that
PRASA was able to restore a sizable number of PRASA Rail services in various
Metros in the Country - which has ensured that PRASA Rail reclaims its status
as a mass mover of commuters in the Republic."
‘’The Rail Lines and Stations were hit by vandalists during
the lockdown period and the Rail Recovery Programme is a robust government
response to that destruction. The Ministry is committed to clean administration
and governance across its entities,’’ added Collen Msibi, National Transport
Department spokesperson.
