ANA reports that passenger rail service Metrorail has announced that train services suspended earlier this week due to spreading violent unrest, will formally resume on Wednesday.
Acting Gauteng Metrorail spokesperson, Tony Games, said on Tuesday: “After assessing the situation, Metrorail management is comfortable that the situation is now calm to provide a normal service in the interest of fare-paying customers who want nothing but to travel safely, in a secure environment including our employees and assets.” From Wednesday, trains will run in the following corridors: the Pienaarspoort-Pretoria service; the Mabopane-Pretoria service; the Saulsville-Pretoria service; the Naledi-Johannesburg service; and the Vereeniging-Union service. “Based on the advice received from law enforcement agencies, the train service between Leralla-Elandsfontein [Tembisa Corridor] will remain suspended until further notice. Metrorail is serious about running a safe incident free service and will not expose the commuting public to situations that will endanger their lives,” Games said.
