Train commuters in Mabopane were thrilled to be joined by transport minister Fikile Mbalula aboard their morning train to Pretoria.

Train commuters in Mabopane were thrilled to be joined by transport minister Fikile Mbalula aboard their morning train to Pretoria on Wednesday.

Mbalula, accompanied by Passenger Rail Agency of SA management, visited the Mabopane station north of Pretoria and hopped onto the 6.20am train to Pretoria to assess the service, which started operating this week after a two-year suspension. Commuter Koketso Nyathela, 29, from Soshanguve, said residents must learn to protect rail infrastructure or they will be left without affordable transport.

“I hope we have all learnt a lesson because a taxi is so expensive. Other people had to resign because they could not afford taxi fare, it was really tough,” she said, adding that it is the responsibility of commuters to protect their stations. “We cannot be OK with watching people vandalising infrastructure or property. This time we really learnt the hard way, it was tough without the train.”

Mbalula blames theft for dilapidated train stations, as ActionSA calls for heightened security measuresMbalula said train stations requiring minor and extensive repairs will be upgraded as part of the National Station Improvement Programme. What happened to the security staff that used to look after the stations? He’s lying. They took them away. This is how they privatize the rail system by making it dysfunctional so their ‘private’ friends can take it over. Thank you Captain Obvious🤦‍♂️ like we don't know it's due to theft you suppose to prevent this. Isn't that why the apartheid government had railway police, you anc got rid of them
