The Dube TradePort CEO has quit amid allegations that he received kickbacks from a company that operated a cargo terminal at Durban’s King Shaka International Airport, the Mercury reported recently. Rohan Persad had been on cautionary suspension since July 12 after it had been reported that he had allegedly taken kickbacks from Alex McRoberts, a director of Worldwide Flight Services SA, which operates Dube TradePort’s cargo terminal at the airport. The Sunday Tribune reported earlier this month that Persad was apparently expected to walk away with R15 million as a result of the kickbacks. The Mercury reported that other Dube TradePort executives were also being investigated. – Sapa
