"Unprovoked lying": SA reacts to Fikile Mbalula's promise to fix Prasa

Looking at a previous story, Briefly News published that minister Fikile Mbalula recently told Parliament that he was working on fixing the Passenger Rail Agency of SA.

According to Fikile he is already working on some "ambitious" projects to help the agency get back on its feet.

Mbalula also said that all those involved in crippling the ailing agency would be brought to justice after the agency received a disclaimed audit opinion for two years in a row from the Auditor General, who remarked that the agency had unreliable financial statements and a lack of financial discipline.
