Transport minister Fikile Mbalula has told parliament that his decision to fire the board of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA was justified by the latest dismal audit outcome for the parastatal.

Transport minister Fikile Mbalula is confident significant progress has been made in areas that have been prioritised since he fired the previous Prasa board.

Mbalula had sacked the board and its then acting CEO, Nkosinathi Sishi, but he immediately came under criticism for his appointment of Mpondo. At the meeting of the standing committee on public accounts on Tuesday, Mbalula said his firing of the board last year was justified by the dismal audit outcomes for the 2019/2020 financial year.
