Two PRASA stations closed indefinitely after mass vandalism
17 January 2020
The Passenger Railway Agency of South Africa (PRASA) released footage of two Gauteng train stations that have been closed, with services suspended due to vandalism in December 2019.
The stations are Booysens in Johannesburg and Knights station in Kaalfontein.
In a statement, the agency said an unprecedented spike in mass vandalism, theft of electrical wires, lack of electrical lines and the destruction of infrastructure have resulted in a majority of sections across regional railway services being closed down.
It had suffered severe disruption in commuter services as a result.
