A train carriage was set alight at Eerste River station on March 20 2020. Law enforcement officers, Prasa officials and a team of police officials attached to the provincial command in Cape Town attended the crime scene.
“A commuter approached a law enforcement officer and pointed out a suspect. A Prasa official made a video of the incident and later that video was closely examined. A suspect was identified, and it was the same person pointed out earlier to law enforcement,” said Ntabazalila. Khan was arrested and denied bail, and his trial began in December 2021. He was convicted and sentenced on Wednesday.
Prasa chief investigator Jan Paul Jordaan testified in the case and said the agency fell about 70% under budget monthly due to failure to generate income caused by the unavailability of trains. Prosecutor Aradhana Heeramun said: “The impact these incidents have on the poor in our communities is where the real tragedy lay. Trains are the cheapest form of transport. When sets are put out of use, commuters are forced to use taxis, which are more expensive and this ultimately costs commuters more money.
As long as gangster extortion taxi organisation are allowed to operate with impunity, non govt regulation, they will use the funds to open up new source of income. They will think if they got away with it by filling a road we never built, why not other stuff.

The taxi industry is an evil ogre which stops at nothing to ensure its survival and profits. It is not a lot different from drug cartels. Flout laws, shoot people who get in their way, sabotage the competition. Drunk on power. Long past time lawmakers understand this (and act).
