Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, last night announced the resignation of Transnet chairperson Linda Mabaso, and non-executive directors Vusi Nkonyane and Yasmin Forbes. Chief financial officer Garry Pita tendered his resignation last month.
In a statement, Gordhan said that Mabaso’s resignation would take effect immediately. He added that Transnet had become embroiled in serious allegations of state capture, which would be thoroughly investigated.
The resignations came on the eve of Gordhan’s second meeting with Transnet, which takes place today (May 4) . The shareholder’s meeting will still convene.
