South Africa does have the expertise needed to make the transport system work, so use it
9 July 2019
South Africa does indeed have the expertise needed to make its public transport system work. The government must stop ignoring these people and must start cooperating with them and must make use of their skills and knowledge. Then the country will be successful.
Other countries have modern, punctual transport systems that were built and are being maintained by, among others, South African engineers who are not welcome to work in their own country due to Affirmative Action (AA). This is senseless. South Africans must join hands in the interest of the country and its people.
A transport system is the lifeblood of a country's economy. Without it, the economy cannot grow. A good example is a country like Singapore that has one of the most modern transport systems in the world. It is reflected in its modern and strong economy.
Apart from expertise, two major reasons why South Africa's transport system is struggling are discipline and crime. The great number of incidences in the Western Cape in which trains were torched serve as proof that policing must drastically be improved.
