Prasa says it is working on restoring some of its networks that had to be closed due to vandalism and theft via SABCNewsOnline

Prasa Administrator Bongisizwe Mpondo says they hope to be back in service by April next year. The Prasa executive was engaging with passengers in Dube, Soweto, about their train service.

Mpondo says some of their plans include building four-meter high walls and deploying more security personnel to protect their infrastructure. “You would have heard at the State of the Nation Address that the President mentioned two lines that we need to recover where there’s no service. So we are working diligently on all these programs to ensure that we bring the necessary infrastructure to look into safety and security and to ensure that the service is restored. It will take a bit of time. It will not happen immediately.”

Employing state of the art technology such as drones, CCTV cameras and armoured vehicles are some of the planned upgrades in the pipeline. Mpondo says they will work tirelessly to restore trust among commuters and to ensure that all their services run as scheduled to the benefit of all who depend on trains.

“On security, we are looking at technology, bringing in CCTV and all associated technology. So it’s an integrated security solution. So that’s a stream on its own. Lastly, it is recovery, ensuring that we have got the necessary trains that we need to run at the point that we need to run limited service.”“Some people have lost their jobs and I’m talking from experience.
