The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Committee on Roads and Transport welcomes the arrest of the duo who were found with Transnet infrastructure goods worth R25 million.
“The arrest comes at a time where the backbone of public transport in the province is almost non-functional due to amongst other reasons constant damage to infrastructure due to theft.
The theft of rail infrastructure should be harsher and treated as treason;” said Dumisani Dakile, Chairperson of Roads and Transport Portfolio Committee.
The Committee is appreciative of the multi-disciplinary efforts and the role of intelligence agencies. It is also confident that their pursuit will lead to more arrests soon.
