DA: Ramaphosa's delayed train ride shows lack of political will to solve crisis
Ramaphosa experienced first hand the daily struggles of commuters after being stuck for hours on a train with disgruntled commuters while he was on a campaign trail for the ANC with some of his fellow party leaders.
On the way to Bosman Station, where Ramaphosa later disembarked, the train got stuck twice -- at Marabastad and Technikon Rant stations -- adding another two hours to the travelling time of passengers. Tired of waiting, some of the commuters jumped off the train and walked to their work places while the president remained put.
The DA said commuters had no safety in some trains and some lose their jobs because of delayed trains.
