The National Transport Movement (NTM) has threatened mass action if the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) continue to "ignore" mass-scale corruption at the Passenger Rail Agency (Prasa).

However, that has not happened, nor have the police acted on a case opened by the union in 2015 against former Prasa CEO Lucky Montana. The union’s general secretary, Ephraim Mphahlele, said renewed attempts by Transport Minister Joe Maswanganyi to remove the Prasa board were suspicious.
