Prasa’s national spokesperson, Nana Zenani, said it was disappointed by the senseless attacks on their employees who were merely carrying out their duties.
She said all Prasa’s operational employees carried out their duties in accordance with safety-regulated protocols that governed every decision made, particularly train drivers and guards.
In response to last month’s attack, Zenani said interventions to protect employees would be implemented by Prasa’s security services.According to Zenani, the junction end stations, where lines to several destinations diverged, would be closely monitored for incidents of crime. “Train drivers must ensure that doors are closed and stone guards are up all the time to prevent being hurt by stone-throwing, angry commuters,” added Zenani.
In response, Zenani said Prasa was ordered by the court to reappoint the existing security companies that were dismissed by the previous board.Zenani said a shortage of train sets meant that Durban had had to run shorter train sets than the 12-coach train, which had caused overcrowding.
