Matthews had been on precautionary suspension subsequent to the board’s failed attempt to fire him for nonperformance
02 December 2021 - 10:22The Passenger Rail Agency of SA has fired its CEO, Zolani Matthews, for holding dual citizenship‚ which it says was a material breach that he did not disclose.
Prasa is said to have told Matthews that he failed to secure clearance from the State Security Agency. Matthews is the son of the late struggle stalwart Joe Matthews‚ who lived in exile in England‚ which is when the dual citizenship was obtained. Matthews told the Sunday Times in November that the organisation was in a critical state and that its infrastructure was not ready for a modern rail network despite billions of rand spent on modernisation since 2009. He said in the interview that Prasa’s problems were self-inflicted and that he had established a task team to work with the auditor-general to turn the situation around.
