Fun brings in funds As Canal Walk launched the Frozen Fun Slide on Friday 29 November, R10 000 was donated to Tygerberg Children’s Hospital. Great fun was had at the launch with friendly rivalry between some of South Africa’s best-known celebrities and media personalities, who took part in The Elements Charity Dash. Comedian Stuart Taylor took first place honours and chose to dedicate his victory to the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital. The Frozen Fun Slide Park, which will run until Sunday 5 January 2020, is a collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Africa and in celebration of the impending launch of Frozen II, the sequel to the beloved movie, Frozen. Frozen II opens in cinemas in South Africa on Friday 6 December. Tickets to the Canal Walk Shopping Centre’s Frozen Fun Slide Park are available on www.webtickets.co.za. In the picture are Bryan Habana, Kurt Schoonraad, Stuart Taylor, Carl Wastie, Ayanda Tini-Dlamini, Terrence Mentor.
DAN PLATO: ‘PRASA MUST COME TO THE TABLE’
18 Trains burnt out DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
F
ollowing the destruction of 18 carriages, amounting to R61 million in Cape Town station on Thursday 28 November, mayor Dan Plato requested the Hawks to establish a special unit to investigate the burning of trains. Thousands of commuters using the northern line to Cape Town were left stranded
after the incident last week. Over the past three years, more than 140 train carriages, which make up over 40 train sets, have been burnt in several incidents. Yet not a single person has been prosecuted, according to Plato. City fire and rescue services arrived at Cape Town railway station at about 02:20 where they found carriages ablaze on five platforms. The fire was extinguished at 04:53 and no injuries were reported.
WHILE STOCKS LAST OPEN 7 DAYS
The scene was handed over to the Passenger Rail Association of South Africa (Prasa). In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Plato said he would write to president Cyril Ramaphosa to request intervention from the Hawks. “Thousands of commuters suffer the consequences of not being able to get to work and school on time, and jobs are lost, the people in charge show no plan of action as nobody is held accountable for this economic sabotage,” he stated.

Plato says only one person, deemed to be mentally unfit, was arrested some months ago and that the police had failed the people of Cape Town. “Our rail service is a shadow of its former self and as hundreds of thousands of former rail commuters abandon the trains, we see our roads clog up with more cars, buses and taxis. Prasa, Metrorail and the police need to get their house in order. To page 2
