According to the Sowetan, reporting on a press conference by the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu), union president Ephraim Mphahlele called for the suspension of Prasa group CEO Lucky Montana, whom the union blames for corruption and nepotism at the parastatal. The paper quoted Mphahlele saying “Montana must be suspended pending an investigation. Once the investigation has been concluded – which will finger him – disciplinary procedures might follow. We believe he will interfere with the investigation if he is at the office. We want to see everybody implicated dealt with.”
Mphahlele alleged that the leadership of Prasa “has given tenders to friends.”
Business Day quoted Prasa CEO Montana as dismissing calls by Satawu for his suspension, saying this was damaging and irresponsible.
