Cape Town has urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to replace minister Fikile Mbalula with a dynamic transport minister.
Earlier this week Mbalula was elected the ANC's secretary-general, a full-time position. Cape Town's mayoral committee member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas, said the new minister should lead rail reforms. The city wants to run the commuter rail service and has been engaged in protracted talks with Mbalula on the issue.
“President Cyril Ramaphosa now has a great opportunity to appoint a new transport minister to the cabinet. This is a critical vacancy and one that demands a dynamic, forward-thinking and solutions-driven individual who is committed to leading the process of rail reform to restore decades of maladministration under the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa ,” said Quintas.
