Administrator
A very Good Morning ladies and gentlemen of the
media that are joining us here at PRASA head office,
and those joining us virtually via Teams. Your interest
in the progress being registered by this important
entity of state is indeed highly appreciated.
Today, we invited you here to share an important
milestone in the process of healing and stabilising
PRASA. You will recall that at the beginning of my
tenure here, the Minister of Transport, Honourable Mr
Fikile Mbalula, characterised the rail agency as a
broken business, and further gave us a critical task to
do all we can to bring stability to this organisation.
Over the years, PRASA has had a tendency of placing individuals in critical positions who lacked
the qualifications, experience and skills required for such positions. It has therefore been my
mission, and it will continue to be, to ensure that the right people are appointed in executive
positions and Lorem further ipsum down dolor the sit ranks. amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor

I must highlight here, that it has been quite encouraging for me to witness the quality of
candidates that were shortlisted for these positions. These candidates were of a high calibre,
and are highly accomplished in their respective areas of expertise. This undoubtedly is an
indication that in the eyes of many professionals in the country, PRASA is now on the right track
and well on its way to a much-needed turnaround. These professionals were keen to be part of
the turnaround of the agency and we are grateful for their willingness to join us. I am quite certain
that the PRASA we are building will be in need of their valuable expertise in the not so distant
future.
The appointments I will share with you shortly are a strong indication that PRASA, is on a new
trajectory and that it is on track to take its rightful place as the backbone of the public transport
system in the country. The individuals that will be taking up the positions should be seen as a
sign that PRASA does not only seek to stabilise itself, but that it also aims to compare favourably
with the best in the world.
It is therefore a great privilege for me to announce and welcome to the PRASA family the
following new members of the Group Executive team:
