Prasa board dismisses acting CEO after salary scandal
The board of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA has voted unanimously to dismiss acting CEO Collins Letsoalo, SABC Online reported on Monday evening.
This comes just hours after a media briefing held by Letsoalo saying that a war was brewing between him and those he claimed were trying to destabilise the company.
"I will fight this corruption in Prasa. I will fight this nepotism in Prasa... I want to say to my colleagues, war is coming, but we must never deviate from the cause. Dogs never bark at stationary cars."
Letsoalo held a press briefing to respond to a damaging Sunday Times report which alleged that he had increased his salary from R1.7m to R5.9m per annum in October. He was appointed in July 2016.
