Former group CEO of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) Lucky Montana told the Judicial Commission of Inquiry into State Capture that companies were making hundreds of millions from contracts at the parastatal that he had nothing to do with approving.
Montana testified at the commission chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo in defence of his leadership of Prasa, after multiple witnesses placed him at the centre of key decisions, deals and transactions that set the agency on a path to financial ruin.
Montana spent much of his appearance before the commission responding to an affidavit from Prasa's former head of legal and erstwhile Intersite CEO Martha Ngoye's affidavit. Montana also used his appearance to deny any inappropriate relationship with Durban businessman Roy Moodley.
