NATIONAL NEWS - The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry is planning to meet with Metrorail bosses soon to discuss the rail company's many problems.
This weekend, the chamber released the results of a survey on the impact of poor train services on business.
Ninety-two percent of the survey's respondents believe Metrorail’s situation is worse now than it was a year ago.
Chamber president Janine Myburgh says: “We interact with them regularly. There is a scheduled meeting with Metrorail and we will take up these issues with them.”
Metrorail says it’s losing at least 70 train carriages a month due to vandalism. Eighteen vandalism suspects have been arrested over the past eight weeks.
Services are often crippled as a result of vandalism and copper cable theft.
