JOHANNESBURG – Former Transport Minister Dipuo Peters said Monday that she believed Lucky Montana was bragging when he stepped down as CEO of the South African Passenger Rail Agency (Prasa), which is why he was trying to fight to be reinstated.
Peters said he attended a meeting called by former President Jacob Zuma where reinstating Montana was discussed.
But he denied that Zuma had given specific instructions to the chairman of the board, Popo Molefe, to reinstate Montana.
Molefe told the commission that he asked Zuma to tell the board in person, but Zuma wasn’t happy about that.
Peters said he never interfered with the procurement processes at the state institutions under his supervision, including Prasa.
“… And in that meeting, I never had the impression that President Zuma made a conscious decision that Lucky Montana should return to his post, which he had resigned.”
