THE Democratic Alliance (DA) has welcomed the arrests of Transnet former CEO Brian Molefe and former finance chief Anoj Singh, saying it hopes their arrests and that of other Transnet executives are finally the beginning of justice.
Molefe and Singh were arrested on Monday in a R93-million corruption and fraud case linked to the procurement of 1 064 locomotives in 2015.
DA Shadow Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach said her party had long called for Molefe and Singh’s arrests.
“While others have already been charged in this case, it seems that the last chickens have now finally come home to roost. The DA hopes that the arrests of Molefe, Singh and other Transnet executives today is finally the beginning of justice and that all others implicated will follow in quick succession,” she said.
Breytenbach said Molefe and Singh, other African National Congress cadres and the Guptas used Transnet as their own personal piggy bank.
