Promises, promises

In January 2022, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula promised that the central line would be working by the end of July.

On 5 March, 2020, the then administrator of Prasa, Bongesizwe Mpondo, promised the Central Line would be restored by September 2020. Mpondo also promised an 80-strong bus fleet to carry commuters, which never materialised.

Mpondo also did not restore security. Instead, Prasa refused to abide by high court rulings and restore the security companies while a contingency plan could be worked out. –
