The Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, has congratulated the Gautrain Management Agency (GMA) for clinching the prestigious 2025 Integrated Reporting Award in the Public Sector category at the Chartered Governance Institute of Southern Africa (CGISA) Integrated Reporting Awards.
Hosted by CGISA in partnership with the JSE Limited, the awards have celebrated excellence in corporate reporting since 1956.
They play a vital role in promoting accurate, transparent financial reporting and the full disclosure of all relevant information to stakeholders.
“This award cements GMA’s reputation as a beacon of excellence in public sector governance, financial accountability, and ethical administration. The Agency’s unwavering commitment to clean governance is evident in its remarkable achievement of maintaining an unbroken clean audit record for the 13th consecutive year,” said MEC Diale-Tlabela.
Further underscoring GMA’s commitment to organisational excellence, earlier this year the Agency secured ISO certification for its Integrated Management System (IMS).
The GMA is fully certified in Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001), and Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001).
These certifications, awarded by DQS in South Africa, reflect the Agency’s dedication to continuous improvement, risk mitigation, and world-class operational performance.
Echoing this sentiment, GMA Board Chairperson Professor Mfanelo Ntsobi praised the leadership and staff for their dedication.
“This recognition is a testament to GMA’s disciplined and consistent approach to good corporate governance.
As the Board, we take pride in the Agency’s transparency, accountability, and responsible management of public resources, values deeply embedded in every aspect of its operations.”
Since its establishment in 2006, the Gautrain Management Agency has played a critical role in managing, coordinating, and overseeing the Gautrain project through the implementation of the concession agreement between the Gauteng Provincial Government and the concessionaire.
Additionally, GMA supports the provincial government in the roll-out of transport and rail-related projects.
