Peters talks to one of the vendors at the Germiston Station.
The Minister of Transport, Dipuo Peters, made a stop at the Germiston Railway Station, last Tuesday (April 7).
Among other things, Peters visited a number of projects undertaken by the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).
The Minister’s visit was part of the government’s National Imbizo Focus Week, with the intention of assessing progress on key projects and to facilitate direct, unmediated and interactive communication between the government and the public.
“The African National Congress (ANC) headquarters has a system whereby, once in three months, they invite all the key service delivery departments to come and participate in a live chat,” said Peters.
“We did a live chat at Luthuli House, with regard to transport-related matters, and many of the issues raised were related to public transport delivery.
“So, this visit is a response to a call from the members of the community, and we are here to look at some of the issues that were raised.
“We are also here with the regulator, because one of the key things that were raised in the live chat was matters of safety.”
Peters added that new developments are set to take place in the rail industry.
“Remember, South Africa has taken a decision to resuscitate and re-modernise the rail services, and also to build our own trains in South Africa, because our trains are very old,” said Peters.
“Ekurhuleni Municipality is the hub of our re-engineering of our rail industry.”
A new academy is among the new developments the community can expect in Ekurhuleni.
“We are going to build a factory and training academy here, where we will be training our drivers, rail engineers, other artisans and technicians,” explained Peters.
She also paid an unannounced visit at the Germiston Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) where she assessed the quality of services rendered and interacted with staff and members of the public.Among other activities at the station, Peters undertook a walkabout and interacted with the commuters.
“When the ANC government says ‘Batho pele’, this is actually a practice, where a Minister is called to Luthuli House to engage with the public and respond to the issues of the public,” she explained.
“So, I am here and I am responding to the call that was made through the ANC live chat.”
