Transport Minister, Dipuo Peters has condemned the deliberate destruction of Metrorail property.

She also called for an immediate end to the violence, vandalism and criminality.

She says those responsible for the arson, must stop these actions immediately.

Metrorail said “a limited, less frequent service will be available today  on the Central service area. The Northern area, which was the worst affected by the recent acts of sabotage, will operate with delays and cancellations”.  

Fifteen coaches were torched in the past week's arson attacks on Metrorail property. In the past 23 months, at least 40 carriages were destroyed.
