South Africa: DA Adds Further Prasa Corruption Charge to Public Protector Investigation
The Democratic Alliance (DA) plans to submit new evidence concerning corruption at PRASA amid a broader investigation into alleged financial misconduct.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has announced that it will present additional evidence to the Public Protector regarding ongoing corruption investigations linked to the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA). This comes on the heels of investigative reports by News24, which uncovered new allegations of misappropriation and procurement abuse related to the R7.5 billion General Overhaul (GO) contracts for train refurbishments. The reported findings have intensified scrutiny over how funds were allocated, particularly in the wake of discoveries that substantial amounts were spent on refurbishing non-operational train carriages that are now abandoned.
