Dalian Mabula, the RTIA’s director of budgeting and compliance, has been acting registrar/CEO since February 15 and she will continue to act in this position. The Road Freight Association had over the years expressed concern about Aarto and its susceptibility to fraud, corruption and money laundering. Chuwe’s suspension was confirmation of the association’s worst fears, said Gavin Kelly, the CEO of the association, at the time.
