TimesLIVE writes that Cape Town's Metrorail passengers have had a rough ride for the past two years, but with the redeployment on Wednesday of 100 Rail Enforcement Unit officers, it might get a little smoother.
For the first time, the unit will have investigators who will help officers to secure convictions after they have made arrests. The unit was first deployed in October 2018 and ran for a pilot period of nine months. It was the first time such a partnership had been established between the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape provincial government, and the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa). According to a joint press statement, 157 arrests were made during the rail enforcement unit's pilot phase. To mark the signing of a new one-year deal on Wednesday, dignitaries caught a train from Athlone to Cape Town.
