Findings by the Committee . The Committee observed that the Department of Transport has experienced an institutional challenge in coordinating overall transport due to Transnet not reporting directly to the Department of Transport (DOT) but reporting to the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE). . Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) does not have borrowing powers and therefore depend on the Fiscus and the department would be unable to maintain this arrangement in the long- term. . More funds are required for rural infrastructure development. . There are a series of unfunded mandates such as law enforcement in the taxi industry, turnaround of the Operation Licensing Boards (OLB), turnaround of the Cross Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA) amongst others due to inadequate funding. . The Department had requested R31 billion from National Treasury and it received R1.3 billion and this resulted in some of the unfunded mandates and challenges for DOT in executing its programmes. . The Department has not moved with speed to transform transport in South Africa and a speedy recovery is required. Therefore there is a need for the department of transport to speed up the transformation process. . The master plan and integrated development planning occurs at the planning phase coordinated by the district municipalities but the committee observed that this function was not implemented to its maximum. The implementation of programmes do not accommodate integrated planning and integrated service delivery which is a concern.
