A lot of work still needed to be done to address security, theft, vandalism of assets and infrastructure and criminality that undermined provision of commuter rail, said Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula on Tuesday.

Mbalula said he had no doubt that the newly-appointed Passenger Rail Agency of SA board would rise to the challenge and tackle the challenges with urgency."We are on track with infrastructure upgrades and modernisation in the central line and the Mabopane corridors."

He said there was also significant progress in the filling of critical vacancies at senior management level. "We are focusing immediately with stabilising Prasa in terms of key positions and policy aspect," Ramatlakane said. Mabija detailed their plan to address the audit findings that were picked over the years, including the asset register.

She noted that the audit had found that irregular expenditure had decreased from R3 billion to R1.3bn.“We have long outstanding debt that results in Prasa carrying interest because debts are not paid within 30 days.” "We directed that we need consolidation of the decisions. Once the record is consolidated we will apply our mind to every decision," he said.
