Transnet rail ops hit by protest action as new and improved security solution is adopted

Three of Transnet's rail lines have been impacted by what is believed to be sabotage, amid protests by disgruntled security personnel over a new outcomes-based security contract. In the face of rampant criminality that has been impacting its operations, Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) on 1 August adopted an outcomes-based security solution to combat theft and vandalism on its rail network.
