Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has welcomed a commitment by the national Transport Department’s director-general towards the devolution of the passenger rail service.
Speaking at the Africa Rail Conference in Johannesburg on Tuesday, the department’s Advocate James Mlawua said the devolution strategy "would be a key feature" of the national land transport strategic framework "which will be gazetted during the course of this year".
"We have some idea of what they were discussing back then, there’s been no further movement so far as we are aware since then until this announcement that we will have a new document by the end of the year. As you say, we can be skeptical about whether that will happen, nevertheless, we'll hold him to the commitment."
