Light flickering in Prasa tunnel

It seems there could be light at the end of the vandalised train tunnel which is the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa), as it works to restore to service the Metrorail commuter lines and stations trashed during Covid.

The sight of gutted station buildings, bare tracks where the steel rails had been stolen and the bare overhead electricity pylons left after copper power lines were stolen has been, in many ways, a motif for the decline in infrastructure in our country.

And, let's not forget, the ANC-run Prasa and Metrorail, under the department of transport, cannot lay the blame solely on the effects of the pandemic.
