Daniel Mthimkhulu, a former executive at the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) has been jailed to an effective 15 years in jail over fraud.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said Mthimkhulu was sentenced in the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court on Tuesday.
NPA Gauteng spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said Mthimkhulu was convicted in January 2022 on three counts of fraud.
The 49-year-old was found guilty of misrepresenting his qualifications to Prasa and submitting a fraudulent job offer letter that he claimed to have received from a German engineering firm.
Mjonondwane said Prasa was prejudiced for an amount of R2.8 million per annum.
