An advertisement for Lunga's post is currently running in the media. 
"It's true he will not renew his contact when it expires. The post is being advertised so that the one who will take over may start while Lunga is still here," Masenya told Mmegi.

In related developments, Masenya said BR is still waiting for funding to introduce a revamped day passenger train.
