The Democratic Alliance in Gauteng will lay criminal charges today against former Head of the Gauteng Department of Transport, Ronald Swartz. DA Shadow MEC Evert Du Plessis says Swartz, who served from 2013 to 2019, oversaw significant financial mismanagement. A PricewaterhouseCoopers report revealed over R400 million in irregular expenditure on bus subsidies during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years, plus R70 million in fruitless and wasteful spending in 2015/16. None of the lost funds have been recovered.  Elvis Presslin spoke to DA Shadow MEC for Roads and Transport, Evert Du Plessis
