Hawks must go after people involved in Prasa corruption, says Popo Molefe
05 July 2017 - 08:27
Passenger Rail Authority of SA (Prasa) board chairman Popo Molefe says people implicated in corrupt procurement deals at the rail giant must be prosecuted. He was reacting to a damning high court judgment this week that set aside a R2.6bn tender for locomotives that were too tall to be used on the country’s rail network. "We have done a lot of investigations‚ we have put before the Hawks more than 40 complaints. There are clearly complaints that relate to fraud and corruption‚ and I would say even racketeering‚" Molefe told The Citizen.
