Trade unions have called on transport minister Fikile Mbalula to review his decision to appoint a new board for the Railway Safety Regulator without labour representation, despite a standing resolution to include them.
However, Riefdah Ajam, general secretary of the Federation of Unions of SA , said the new board was in violation of a standing resolution signed three years ago between the RSR board and the transport ministry. The resolution permitted Fedusa and its counterpart Cosatu to have representatives on the board “as direct stakeholders”, said Ajam.
A subsequent investigation on collisions, derailments, level crossing incidents and people struck by trains identified the “human factor element” as the largest contributor to railway accidents. These pertained to speeding, inadequate signage and poor maintenance.
