JOHANNESBURG - Former Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) Group CEO, Lucky Montana, confirms that Prodigy Business Services increased the number of people trained by the rail agency from 300 to 3,000 but said that there was nothing illegal about the increase.
Previously appearing before the commission, Montana has protested his innocence in the face of former public protector Thuli Madonsela’s damning “Derailed” report, findings in numerous investigations by Werksmans Attorneys instigated at the behest of former board chair Popo Molefe, and testimony by Molefe and three senior Prasa executives.
He also claimed a High Court judge, a full Supreme Court of Appeal Bench, and by inference, the Constitutional Court, were all wrong when it came to what happened on his watch at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa).
Tuesday’s hearing continued the theme as evidence centred on a contract Prasa entered into with Prodigy Business Solutions, a company that had Durban businessman Roy Moodley, who is believed to have been a benefactor of former president Jacob Zuma, as a director.

Montana defended an R80 million contract for training that Prasa entered into with a company named Prodigy.
Montana said when he had to discipline officials he was on good terms with, spurious claims of impropriety on his part emerged.
Former Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) group CEO Lucky Montana took to the witness stand at the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture to defend contracts and programmes that the agency undertook during his tenure, saying all of them gave the state-owned company value for money.
