Western Cape MEC of
Transport and Public Works Donald Grant said on Monday that the vandalism which
happened on Metrorail last week which resulted in services between Nyanga and
Khayelitsha being shut down was deliberate.
MEC Grant said the
provincial government condemns these acts of vandalism and sabotage.
He added that this does not
only threaten commuters’ ability to commute safely but also cripples the
economy while costing billions of Rands.
Ministerial Spokesperson Sipheshile
Dube said our replacement costs are escalating beyond our control, these are
monies we could be using to improve our service and upgrade our assets. “Closing the central lines in the Western Cape or even the Vereeniging line in Gauteng may be the only solution to this pandemic Dube added.
