Democratic Alliance communications officer, Samkelo Mgobozi says in a statement he has written to Chairperson of Standing on Public Accounts, Themba Godi, to request that the Chairperson of Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Transport, Dikeledi Magadsi, to be summoned to appear before SCOPA.

He says, Magadsi has given vague reason for postponing Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa’s hearings regarding its financial misconduct. Mgobozi explains……

The excuse given by Chairperson Magadsi was that there was not enough time due to the agenda of the Transport Portfolio Committee being full.


He adds that “This is completely untrue given that both the DA Shadow Ministers of Transport attended the SCOPA meeting as well as other MP’s. It is obvious that Ms Magadsi is refusing to appear before SCOPA to show accountability.”
