Maswanganyi lauds Sanral for reaching 45% of targets in spite of challenges
The heads of transport entities will be held accountable for performance — but they are doing fine, Transport Minister Joe Maswanganyi says
Transport Minister Joe Maswanganyi says the work of the presidential review committee will hold transport entities and their leaders accountable for their performance, while insisting that their performance is "above average". The briefing on Friday in Pretoria came after the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) incurred the highest irregular and unauthorised expenditure in its existence, the embattled South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) received a downgrade from ratings agencies, and in the midst of calls for a Parliamentary probe into state capture in the light of President Jacob Zuma’s controversial relationship with the Gupta family. Maswanganyi said while there were challenges at various entities, the majority of them were performing well. He said in the 2015-16 Prasa achieved 45% of its pre-determined objectives compared to 35% in the previous financial year.
