The committee on Friday began three-day public hearings on the Railway Safety Bill at Ngwelezane Community Hall near Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, where residents expressed their views.
“There was a view that the existing proposal could make the board vulnerable to corruption and nepotism. To prevent this, participants called for an inclusive parliamentary process that will enable the participation of all political parties in the selection and appointment of the board,” the committee's spokesperson Malatswa Molepo said.
“Residents called for strong ties between community liaison officers of the railway operators and the regulator with communities adjacent to railway lines to open up communication lines, address safety concerns and roll out safety workshops at schools and within the communities. The bill requires the regulator to provide education and training, and conduct public awareness activities relating to safe railway and railway operations.
