Cape Town - after they announced the appointment of a multidisciplinary team of rail professionals to assist with “high- level business plans for taking over passenger rail in Cape Town”. He said the move was “dishonest, opportunistic and absolute political manoeuvring that seeks to undermine the enormous efforts by the ANC government to change the rail landscape of South Africa, which has been characterised by decades of disinvestment by the apartheid regime”.
“Our immediate and urgent task is to stabilise and provide a predictable Metrorail service within current capacity, measured by increased ridership, customer satisfaction and efficiency,” Nzimande said. “The MOA also details a comprehensive approach dealing with road and rail transport infrastructure, operations, services and systems, leading to the establishment of The Land Transport Advisory Board and Intermodal Planning Committee. Under the latter 19 projects were identified. This collaboration would find fruition in a strategic business plan.”
TheCapeArgus Perhaps more about taking money from grubby little fingers - one less thing that can be looted from. So sick & tired of all these politicians. The fact is Politicians have failed the people of South Africa. They are all self serving & fail to deliver pre-election promises

Nzimande attacks Cape Town's plans to take over MetrorailThe City of Cape Town's intention to take over passenger rail service will not give rail commuters improved, accessible, reliable and cost-effective public transport. This response does not address the principles, merely exemplifies an ideological standpoint, and he may well be scared of the effect on the perceived strength of the governing party. No. You’re just terrified that they’ll run it correctly and once again demonstrate how woefully incompetent and corrupt the ANC are. He must fix our trains. He is not even aware of the situation faced by commuters. A yellow communist.
