The Minister of Transport, Dr. Blade Nzimande invites members of the media to the media briefing following his meeting with the Board of PRASA.
The briefing comes after a meeting Minister Nzimande held with President Cyril Ramaphosa at Tuynhuys in Cape Town on Tuesday 19 March 2019 following the President’s first-hand experience of the difficulties regularly experienced by commuters when using our Metrorail trains.
The President boarded a train from Mabopane to the Tshwane CBD when the train was delayed which led it to be overcrowded as well.

Date: Thursday, 11 April 2019
Time: 13h00 for 13h30
Venues: GCIS offices in Hatfield, Tshedimosetso House, 1035 Schoeman St, Hatfield, Pretoria ( Media in Cape Town can participate in the briefing through a video link from Pretoria to GCIS media center at parliament)
