Fikile Mabula assures frustrated Gauteng train commuters of more efficient services
Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula on Monday assured frustrated train commuters of more efficient services in parts of Gauteng.
Mbalula launched the October Transport Month Campaign on Monday morning where he showcased the revitalization of some rail lines.
Lines in Pretoria and Johannesburg were disrupted last year after key infrastructure was vandalized.
This morning we witnessed the recovery of yet another commuter rail corridor between Pienaarspoort and Pretoria. This is in line with our commitment to return to service this year 10 priority corridors

The Passenger Railway Agency of South Africa (Prasa) revitalization drive has seen the recovery of the Pretoria and Pienaarspoort line, as well as the Pretoria and Kaalfontein lines.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign, Mbalula lauded the strides made by the embattled state entity.
“We know our people have been very much patient; others can’t afford taxi fares… but they believed the president and all of us here when we said the trains would come back,” Mbalula said.
