Prasa: Securing more trains not a quick fix SA's rail problemsPrasa group chief strategy officer Sipho Sithole blamed criminal elements for the frequent disruptions to train services, which President Ramaphosa has labelled as unacceptable. Watch this space...the looting starts..The second batch of trains to be purchased...the first batch was not compliant for our railway tracks. Kidala amatrain aso. Kunini nathi sifika late emisebenzini ukuzothola umlungu azokutshela ukuthi, 'bru you must wake up earlier and take the earliest train boet', fuutsek Piet! This is the earliest train! Must I sleep at the train station manje?! On second thought, I think Prasa and Eskom must switch, that way, the trains will be on time (loadshedding it's never late) and Prasa will schedule loadshed events but be late. Win-win.
