Ministers of Transport Sibusiso Ndebele and Public Enterprises Barbara Hogan met with senior officials from the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) and Transnet, led by PRASA CEO Lucky Montana and Transnet acting CEO Chris Wells, regarding their impasse in Pretoria earlier today Friday, 22 October 2010.
Minister Ndebele said that the meeting was constructive and the differences between PRASA and Transnet have been ironed out.
“PRASA and Transnet are working on a plan to ensure that Shosholoza Meyl is back on track as soon as possible. As government, the provision of safe, reliable and efficient public transport is a priority and the interests of passengers are paramount,” said Minister Ndebele.
