Timeslive reports that the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa) confirmed on Thursday that it had been granted a one-year safety permit to operate the country’s trains.
This came after it was given a temporary permit from the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) early in August to operate, which in turn was after the RSR had sent a contravention notice to Prasa on 1 August indicating that it was operating without being in possession of a valid safety permit. The temporary permit had only been valid until the end of August. In the statement on Thursday‚ Prasa’s Nana Zenani confirmed that the one-year safety permit had been issued by the RSR with validity from 31 August 2018. “The safety permit allows Prasa to continue with operations and also continue to work together with the RSR in continuously improving passenger rail‚” Zenani said.
