Knights Train Station damage ‘won’t be fixed overnight’, warns Prasa
The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) has warned commuters it will take time to fix the damage caused to the Knights Train Station in Germiston.
This comes after the state-owned rail agency decided to suspend operations at the vandalised station in December last year.
Prasa spokesperson Nana Zenani says in the process several cables were stolen and its structural integrity compromised.
"There is no way you can put customers or our employees on that line.”

Late last year Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula dissolved interim board of Prasa and placed the ailing railway agency under administration.
The decision to place Prasa under administration came on the back of auditor-general Kimi Makwetu giving parastatal a disclaimed audit opinion for the 2018/19 financial year.

Mbalula made the announcement at a media briefing in Johannesburg on Monday. The decision to place Prasa under administration comes on the back of Auditor Genera Kimi Makwetu giving it a disclaimed audit opinion for the 2018/19 financial year. Makwetu cited the regression on instability of executive management, and a lack of accountability by senior officials to address his findings.
