“In terms of due process, following cabinet approval of the appointment, the [Prasa] board is expected to ensure all requisite processes are followed in effecting the appointment. These include ensuring requirements of Prasa policies are adhered to, obtaining a security clearance, signing of an employment contract, signing of a performance agreement and declaration of financial interests,” Mbalula said.

The minister said Prasa had not had a group CEO since the departure of Lucky Montana in 2015 and that, since then, it had had 10 acting group CEOs in six years.“We know that delivering reliable rail and affordable public transport is central to our economic performance,” he said. “Our overarching priority is to put passengers at the heart of all we do.”

Will sue the department for unfair labour practice

Mantashe became a minister at 62🤣🤣 But when a 36 year applies for a job in those departments they say he or she is old...HYPOCRITES😠

Why hire someone that's one foot in the grave? No young talent?

Forever being led by these madalas who look into the past not the future

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Wilhelmdenni wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

To those that say he is too old to take up the position, ask yourselves ...AT WHAT AGE DID NELSON MANDELA BECOME PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA... Policies must be interpreted correctly before rushing to write sensationalist articles

Either he is over 63 or he is not. It can’t be a “claim”.

Buy you guys get things from twitter now🤔

Does discrimination based on age...constitutional..?

Fikile Mbalula defends Zolani Matthews' appointment as Prasa CEOWhos paying who?. I tried to find the spot where he actually presented the rationale for appointing a 64 year old man in a 64yrs position but couldn't find it. I keep looking but see nothing. He has to defend it with a straight face to shake off the embarrassment.

Fikile Mbalula reads Prasa board the Riot ActThe transport minister said if legislation stopped the board from achieving its goals, it was their duty to ‘amend it if it is not straightforward’ How much did the Guptas score from Prasa? But for Prasa, look at the condition of our roads..... it is worse than Malawi or Mozambique. Visit Namibia and see how fine their railways operate and the fantastic No1 road infrastructure in Africa (Rwanda second). I'm very pleased to celebrate my cashout with everyone in the group. Indeed I'm happy and DavidLingleyBT is really a genuine paying man the whole world needs to know how good and generous he is. I wanna use this opportunity to thank Mr David for the great support he put on, you're a man of intergrity, i wont stop until the whole world would hear your name !!! DavidLingleyBT
