South Africa's Transnet says irregular expenditure up to 49 billion rand
- Country:
- South Africa
South African state logistics firm Transnet said on Monday irregular expenditure in 2019 increased six-fold to around 49 billion rand from 8 billion rand in the previous year, mainly due to training replacement contracts.
A number of Transnet's top executives, including its chief executive and chief financial officer, have been suspended or fired in the wake of an official corruption inquiry into a 54 billion rand contract to buy 1,064 locomotives.
