Cape Town commuters left stranded

Hundreds of Cape Town commuters have once again been left stranded after several Golden Arrow buses were vandalised in Khayelitsha early on Thursday morning. At least two buses were set alight and nine others stoned in the attacks. It is not yet clear whether striking security guards or feuding taxi operators were responsible for the damage. Metrorail has also suspended its central line serving Khayelitsha and Kapteinsklip in the wake of a spate of vandalism and arson on trains and at stations that has been blamed on striking security guards. Fed-up commuters say they are living in fear and want to know why they should pay for other people’s grievances.
