Johannesburg â Former transport minister Dipuo Peters has admitted that the decision to dismiss the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) board three months before its term ended was irrational.
Peters appeared before the Zondo Commission of Inquiry Into Allegations of State Capture in relation to Prasa-related testimony.
In her testimony, Peters dismissed allegations that she was advised by anyone to dismiss the board. It was my decision to dismiss the board, I was irrational.The board stretched my patience for a long time, the timing was wrong, said Peters. She also revealed that working with former Prasa board chairperson Popo Molefe had been very difficult.
On Monday, the commission asked the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) to confirm that Zuma’s defiance of the order for him to appear before the inquiry was an act of contempt.
