On Monday the Commission of Inquiry into allegations of State Capture is expected to hear testimony related to the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) from the former Minister of Transport Dipuo Peters.

Peters headed the transport ministry from July 2013 until March 2017.

She is expected to give testimony around allegations of corruption relating to the agency.

She had also alleged that former Prasa CEO Lucky Montana misled her regarding the crisis.

Back in July, former board chair Popo Molefe on his testimony before the commission had implicated Peters saying that he found out on the day that his board was expected to appear before the portfolio committee in Parliament, that it had been dissolved.
