South Africa: Gauteng rail service disrupted by vandalism

Hundreds of thousands of people in South Africa have been left with no affordable transport after parts of the rail system closed down.

Train services have already been severely limited because of the pandemic, and now the theft of cables and even station roofing material has led to even more limitations as the passenger rail agency struggles to keep trains running.
