3,000 Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa employees failed to come forward for physical verification, leading to suspicions of high numbers of ghost employees at the agency.
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa saved about R200 million through a project to verify employees on its payroll system as its preliminary investigation was not able to verify 1,480 employees while 1,159 resigned during the process.
“We are on course to rid Prasa of all forms of corruption. Those officials who aid and abet these dastardly deeds of corruption will face the full might of the law,” the minister said. “During this phase, out of the 17,268 recorded employees on Prasa’s payroll system, 14,268 employees presented themselves for verification,” Mbalula said.
The investigation was conducted with the support of the Department of Home Affairs, the South African Revenue Service , Umalusi, and the South African Qualifications Authority .
