Does it matter that Prasa appointed a CEO too old to hold the position? 8 March 2021 11:13 AM Share This: At 64, CEO Zolani Matthews is by the rail agency's own standards over the age of retirement, says GroundUp's James Stent. GroundUp has revealed a bungle in the appointment of the new Passenger Rail Agency (Prasa) group CEO. James Stent from GroundUp speaks to Refilwe Moloto about How Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula has appointed a new Prasa Group CEO, Zolani Matthews, 64, who by the rail agency's own standards, is over the age of retirement.
