BY REBECCA DAVIS

There is no doubt that corruption has real-life consequences, and to
see this, look no further than the collapse of South Africa’s train
services.

In 2010, rail passengers were making over 500 million train journeys a
year. By 2022, after the looting of Prasa saw the destruction of the
commuter train service, this figure had fallen to 19 million.

Prasa, under the leadership of CEO Lucky Montana, awarded 216
contracts (of which only 13 were legit) to the tune of R15-billion.
The result is now playing out in real-time. In Cape Town, for example,
an additional 1 million passengers have been forced onto the roads
daily, whereas previously they would have used trains. So if you are a
Capetonian frustrated by the terrible traffic in the city in recent
years, you can trace that back pretty directly to the looting of
Prasa.

And then, there’s Transnet… read on here.
