Question NW2311 to the Minister of Transport
04 July 2022 - NW2311
Sithole, Mr KP to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether, since the launch of the Integrated Security Plan in October 2020, and the deployment of security around the identified crime hotspots within the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) across the Republic, his department has recorded a significant reduction in the cases of vandalism and crime in general within Prasa; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the further, relevant details?
Reply:
The information below indicates that since the launch of Integrated Security Plan, PRASA has experienced a steady decrease in crime incidents and crime spots are beginning to stabilize. The phase-in approach of security intervention both in the form of physical guards and technology will ultimately bring about a total eradication of crime within PRASA environment and it points to a promising future of crime free situation.
