Vandals have upper hand on Metrorail
28 November 2016
IT is becoming clear that “vandals” have gained the upper hand and Metrorail is losing the battle to run a good service for commuters, says the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“How is it possible for vandals to defeat the best efforts of the railway police, the S A Police service and the private security firms employed to protect Metrorail property year after year?” asked Ms Janine Myburgh, President of the Chamber.
A new approach and a new energy was needed because traditional policing was proving to be a failure.
There was much more to the problem than vandalism,” said Ms Myburgh. “Vandals get bored after a while and find something else to do.”
