    It's very nice video I really enjoy it. People should stop with this cable theft, they're really killing us. I hope they arrest all the people involved in cable theft. But thanks for the video, and I also know you'll make more videos. Thanks bro

    I love your Videos... and ever since i was young I have been dreaming about driving Shosholoza Meyl. That train is indeed a pleasant experience. It's just unfortunate that our country has turned into a place where stealing is normalized

    Majority of people working for Transnet and Prasa are there for the paycheque. No dedication, no commitment, no compassion, no respect and love for the job. The Prasa manager who is dedicated and love his job is Mr Raymond Maseko in Cape Town. They really need to up their game when it comes to customer service.

    Sorry man , the train journey was not even a quarter, nevertheless, everyone should expect such situations, though Prasa has no control over long-distance rail as it owned by transet, that no excuse as Prasa fully owns a variety of commuter rails which they dismally fail there also, many people have lost their jobs because of their nonsense service, hence them not owning long-distance rail shouldn't bother us, they Prasa themselves are a huge mess to be given long-distance rail ownership, how can you get long distance when you failing short commuter distance

    Your trip on the train Joburg to durban and back bring back memories.Until transnet resolves the sabotage of its infrasructure we will never have a decent rail system.Many of its staff are not passionate about working for transnet,they are just running after the salary,replace the lot of them them.
