# Law firm Webber Wentzel has been appointed to investigate the awarding of two 18-billion-rand contracts by senior officials at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa. The contracts for the installation of train signalling equipment in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape were awarded to companies that did not meet the requirements. Transport minister Barbara Creecy says Webber Wentzel’s terms of reference include investigating the alleged procurement irregularities, fraudulent payments, non-compliance with bid bonds, and awarding of unlawful contracts and non-payments to subcontractors.
