The former Ethekwini city manager, Sibusiso Sithole has officially been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) on Tuesday.

Transport Minister Blade Nzimande has acknowledged that PRASA is failing to provide reliable transport to South Africans. Nzimande was briefing Parliament’s oversight committee about PRASA.

Minister Nzimande has admitted that the majority of Metro rail users arrive late at work on a daily basis due to unreliable trains and the ailing infrastructure.

The minister also has concerns about diversion of Prasa funds, “At PRASA it looks like everything else was a priority except to provide transport, a reliable transport was like the last item.”
