The Railway Safety Regulator condemns the spate on torching of trains as irresponsible and unjustified.
This comes after three train carriages were set alight at
the Mlamla-nkunzi railway station in Orlando East, Soweto
Johannesburg Emergency Services Spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi
said it is a deliberate fire, it was not by accident.
Mulaudzi said the carriages were torched while the train was
in motion.
Railway Safety Regulator Communications Manager Babalwa
Mpendu said the recent incidents of torching of trains have disrupted train
operations and infringes on the commuters safety.
Mpendu further said this seeks to discredit the efforts and
investment made by government on rail to position rail as the preferred mode of
transport.
