We know they will do FOKOL. The situation will continue
They can't look after parliament, what were you expecting. SA is the next Zimbabwe unless we stop this journey in 2024.

ANC allowed this to happen..Why🤔 Who scoring? 🤔
The railway system is finished not even a skngles cable insight
South Africa can jump start its economy if it does the following: 1-Remove the race based BBBEE laws! 2-Remove all labour law red tape! 3-Reduce Corporate Income Tax to 22%! (This will be lowered to 27% next year tho)

It will take years to get railway system up and running again. It was destroyed right in front us by criminals. Today we are paying taxi fare which is more than 4X of metrorail
Somebody has to pay staffers and keep high hyedyins in the style they are accustomed. And the Chinese are impatient
djmillerJA emilymshields remember when jlp supporters were doing this in Jamaica
PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa Why are you and the Minister of Transport so quite on this matter ?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Mr..Fearfokol
Years of looting and neglect by the RET squad also didn't help at all.
The silence of government and political leadership on this matter is deafening. For once SAPS should be targeting infrastructure thugs rather than chasing after alcohol. We will end up with a highly dysfunctional rail system if nothing is done. Inaction is not an option - as now.
Where was our intelligence to spot this before it escalated to this state..tjo☹
Mbalula
IFPinParliament save our Prasa
Apart from theft there's another cause for destruction.
Now we understand why apartheid was introduced back in 1948. Clearly it was a system that worked whereas today everything is broken and looted VoetsekANC
Time to privatize and deregulate the market. Introduce private business competition...
In short as a result of poor administration by the ANC
MbalulaFikile £ MYANC
Collapse of South Africa economy is coming
Will keep on asking same question.....afterall public reps need to give answers........When is the Mahikeng to Kimberley railway line services going to be 'fixed' Mr Minister Mbalula?
Criminal haven is what this country has turned to, everything is a mess
It sad what is happening to our country, no law and order, when anc came into power they took away they railway police, that was stupid,
Mr. Fix is still on the buzz of PRASA inherited the broken infrastructure.
Not a single person arrested?
The myanc needs to fill their pockets by giving new contracts to fix their mess.
The best solution is to restrict profiting from metal recycling.
MbalulaFikile care to comment?
Maybe when the demographic majority admit that they are the problem we can find some sort of solution, hence the fact that admitting is the first step to healing
Correction: As a result of poor leadership top to bottom. Mbaks cares more about Twitter than the livelihoods of poor working class who now spend their salaries on minibus taxis. Tragic
syndicate is involve and SAPS commercial unit must investigate the market of these stolen goods.
And absolutely no attention paid to that by the President, and Minister to design a plan as to how to resuscitate the rail system for the benefit of poor South Africans who really relied on this cheaper mode of transport and stimulate investment and economy as they always say !
But how possible is this ? Unless those incharge don't care.
How does the government & law authorities let this happen 🤔. ?. . It happened right under their nose 👃..
MbalulaFikile niehaus_carl
Don't worry cyril already fell on his sword for this travisty
That's the plan, collapse the railway system so trucking companies can boom...
And MbalulaFikile is only worried about taxis because the masenaai makes money there
We should blame doz who are doing it, the other portion of blame must be on police, but when I look closely it looks like there’s an element of sabotage in e whole thing. I don’t think there’s something out of this world that wz done by Mbeki, Zuma administration dat avoided dis
And I am sure the little one Mbalula will be shocked....
Guys this is very serious issue our railway is finished and I would like to call all South African to focus on rebuilding and maintain what we have. Let's stop this Alcohol abuse and take take responsibility to rebuild South Africa. let's stop talking about Zuma . Now is the time
Will keep on asking same question...afterall public reps need to give answers..... When is the Mahikeng to Kimberley railway line services going to be 'fixed' Mr Minister Mbalula ?
on some desperate PR journey to keep gov. advertising. How about that useless Jack of All Trades, Master of None. Mr. Fix it who can't even fix a patch of grass
Can Mr Fix come to the rescue MbalulaFikile
This is the new dawn
PresidencyZA how do you feel about being President of once great country. One thing that you can do please don't rape us with your vaccine. Fire your spokesperson MbalulaFikile because he's Mr Fix but he's fixing nothing at all
When is the Mahikeng to Kimberley railway line services going to be 'fixed' Mr Minister Mbalula?
I can't believe what I'm seeing now, just receive another withdraw of R78,600 straight into my account, thanks you so much Mr compton01_ Contact him if interested
I know we all probably must have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Leticia_thomas3 on Twitter. She guides me through and i made a return of R15500 after a week of trading, connect with her
It's gone these where reported day by day during lockdown level 5 no action u make noise now 🤔
The rail way has long collapsed on thr first long down ya 21 days

MYANC CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA MbalulaFikile the sooner voters gets you out the better for South Africa, you lot are criminally incompetent
We have law enforcement that fails to enforce by-laws,this nonsense wouldn't have dared happened in the old system or in any other country,this isn't democracy it's anarchy and lawlessness period
THAT IS 9wasted years
MbalulaFikile I think you have failed grootman
At least here there's some railway tracks. In some places like New Canada going to Joburg, Germiston to Vereeniging, there's nothing left.
it's already broken. only people getting paid are transport ministers and officials. WHY? They should be fired and investigated for dereliction of duties. ANC have collapsed and failed us. All these revolutionary parties have no idea how to run a civilized country and need to GO
Where's that twitter minister...
😭 we knew that this lawlessness will finally come to this
ghetto ville, cape flats -- tourism magnet. watch the poor grovel
You forgot to tag Fikile.
Merry Christmas to everyone 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 Due to Merry Christmas The ALDI this first 50 people to Comment (ALDI) Will receive their $750.00. Trust me it's real. And it starts now DM him Mike67857
The strategy of CR17 is to collapse SOEs then call for private players Education and health sector are next.
It has collapsed
Verge?!?! It's collapsed already, finished kaput, klaar.. gone
LesaoanaErnest fikilembalula
Niyahlanya PRASA was not working during the term of Zuma! People built those shacks during the term of Zuma! Mbalula was not at Transport when rail started to collapse, it collapsed long time ago!
MbalulaFikile and PRASA_Group if u look closely why railways r failing, u will realise most of them all of a sudden they r surrounded by informal settlement. The early u put ur foot down and evic all this mushroom informal the better.
This is total collapse..
To think there are morons masquerading as a board of prasa, receiving big bugs in the midst of this nonsense,makes one sick to the stomach
Not not on the verge.. it's vrek already!!! 😣😒🥴😩
MbalulaFikile
Akere transport ministry is led by a tweleb
If you can build your house on a railway line it means it's collapsed, not on the verge of, but totally!
27 years in democracy still blaming apartheid, This is Anc's goverment doing this not white people, Anc comrades are rich with looted billions with their families and don't care.
sephiritsikeli The verge!? Lol that's an understatement
We need proper auditing of all scrap yards!
I just don't understand how any country can wish to grow its economy without a proper, efficient and functioning rail way system....how? 😭😭😭😭
People want jobs but they build shacks on railway tracks to destroy Transnet and PRASA that are supposed to create jobs for them 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Fokolo Fikile ...Cant evan fix his shoe laces...Useless.
Not even in a verge of collapse but have totally collapsed
ANC has left this country in complete ruins. And the masses still put them back in power. Who is the fool, the fool or the fool who follows him?
Not on the verge it already collapsed we to much in detail we wait for someone or a newspaper to tell is it's collapsing why cause we a country of denial we see things that go wrong and are wrong but wait for someone to tell us
When reality speaks a thousand words! railway corrupt VoetsekANC
No shit Sherlock 😒
Let provinces manage their own railways. They can try save what is left
While MbalulaFikile is busy talking about bridges in Africa. What a shame😏not that I'm suprised. He doesn't give a damn about South Africans who use trains.
We are a lost nation and we add no value in this planet thanks to corrupt ANC government.Basule dipelo ga bana matswalo.Shame on them.
Fikile Mbalula collapsed the whole PRASA alone
Ba busy o fikile ko Nigeria badlala i coming to America
MbalulaFikile chief what are you planning to do about this?
Yeah, that's what happens when you leave it to the uncivilised population of SA. Everything they touch will eventually and inevitably turn to shit because they are just incapable of functioning on a higher level.
SA becomes a failed state in the process.
MbalulaFikile I'm volunteering to type your resignation letter 🙏🙏
What a shame GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa MbalulaFikile 2024 vote outANC
MbalulaFikile is this true? 😕😕
ANC was there to make money instead of preserving what was built by apartheid government. The only thing they tried to do is to build those power stations that are still a big problem. Shame on you. You have lost the dignity you had 15 years ago
So soon in South Africa, there will be no trains, this will give pressure on roads.
I mean we have all seen the state of the NPA.
What a disgrace to the ANC government!
Here's what the Minster of Transport has to say about it.
Everything will collapse as long as ANC is in power
What is the verge of collapse when rail has already collapsed?
Where is that clown called Fikile Mbalula who is call himself Mr Fix? Mxm
