Honourable Chairperson,
On the 3rd of November 2020, this house met to debate as a matter of national public importance, the economic impact on the lives of the most vulnerable and poor commuters due to ongoing damage to public rail infrastructure. The DA’s position during that debate was perfectly clear and applies to this debate here today: The ANC is to blame for the collapse in the country’s transport system and is contributing directly to the high cost of living for all South Africans. It was you, Minister Mbalula, who decided to leave our rail system unprotected, and it was you Mister President who allowed the Minister to be this
irresponsible.
