Teeming with scores of commuters from SA and abroad daily, Park Station, Johannesburg’s thriving transport and business hub, has been turned into a pigsty.
The tiled floors are blemished with dark stains, uncollected rubbish is strewn all over, the escalators are not working and the public toilets are dirty as the two-week-long strike by the cleaning staff employed by a private company takes its toll.
Calls to Prasa’s Nana Zenani and Sipho Sithole yesterday went unanswered, while South African Municipal Workers’ Union national spokesperson Papikie Mohale said the strike had not been sanctioned by the union. The iconic Park Station – the largest railway station in Africa – serves as a major transport hub in Johannesburg and plays a pivotal role in the integration of transport modes by connecting inner-city services.
Transfers that take place there include Metrorail train services from Ekurhuleni, Soweto and Roodepoort.
