Signalling target of commissioning 2 station Interlockings in Gauteng completed.
197 employees in training above the range of for quarter 1. The lower limit for 2016/17 of 200 – 250 employees met in July with 206 employees in training.
Spending on designated group – Black Women Owned at R338.6m above the range for between R222m – R242m.
CHALLENGES
Passenger environment challenge:
Metrorail (passengers, trains on time and availability, passenger injuries & fatalities index, crime incidents involving passengers)
Autopax passengers
Project delays: Pienaarspoort Deployment corridor, PRASA Technical (120km/h track project)and Intersite (Umgeni development).
Spending on BWO:
Largest amounts go to Construction (CRES & TECH), Refurbishment & Upgrade of coaches (TECH), Repair of rolling stock equipment (Rail), maintenance (Rail).
Challenges:
Pienaarspoort deployment Corridor involves the infrastructure readiness as well as the operational readiness (train operations, customer services, security and maintenance). The Provisional Acceptance certificate for Train 1 is delayed; the stray current project completion date December 2016; platform rectifications will also still be in progress.
PRASA Technical – The 120km/h track tender is one the major supporting infrastructure works to commence for the deployment of the new trains. The target was to ensure completion of the tender and contracting work in 2016/17 so that work can commence in 2017/18.
The Intersite project in Umgeni is dependent on the approval from the EThekwini municipality. The approval is subject to a period of 21 days for any objections. (This expires August 2016). (Target was to have this completed by end Quarter 1).

6. Status of Implementation – Metrorail Challenges
Action plans to address challenges:
Recovery plans for Rolling Stock and Infrastructure. (Detail in next slides)
Combining work of PRASA Rail Engineering and PRASA Tech to collectively address infrastructure and rolling stock issues
Security action revolve around interventions to address hotspots and targeting scrap metal dealers, working with the SAPS (Detail in next slides)
Acting GCEO regional visits to provide focus on problem areas
Acting GCEO visits to suppliers of Rolling Stock programme to assess capacity

7. Status of Rolling Stock
Out of service coaches waiting for components, light defect repairs and maintenance (55% waiting for components)
Refurbishment due to General Overhaul programme
Incident repairs due to collisions, derailments and arson.
Contractor Ad-hoc repairs mainly due to cable vandalism
International peers keep between 5 – 10% spare sets (slack) to ensure high reliability of service. This requires the blue line to be at just below the green line to achieve high reliability in Metrorail.

8. Recovery plans: Rolling Stock
Key lever to utilize GO Contractors to repair out of service coaches due to component failures, theft damage & vandalism of cables.
Transnet Engineering committed to deliver on GO programme and closer working relationship with TE established.
Procurement process for new component contracts underway and one of the mission critical components, rotary machines, are already in evaluation.
Current contracts extended a number of times for GO’s & components - identified as irregular by AG.
Levels of critical components in depots to be maintained for quick repair turnaround time.
Super-shedding – block trainset working to ensure maintenance stability and all repairs affected to increase distances between failures.

9. Status of Infrastructure
Impact of infrastructure on train performance
Condition of Perway
Maintenance backlog - Electrical
Train delays and cancellations affects the customer experience.
Kilometres under speed restriction (to ensure safe travel) affects the running of trains.
Quality of the rail track measured by Track Quality Index (TQI) affects the experience of safety and ride quality of the train journey

10. Recovery plans: Infrastructure
Key levers to use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) contractors (Signalling) and Transnet to assist in addressing the negative spiral in condition of assets
Requires special dispensation on extended line occupations, resource allocation and exceptional support to realise the desired outcomes.
Methodology for execution in guidelines for each region includes
Clustering of rehabilitation works to be effected thus executing at same time on a section / cluster of sections / entire corridor.
Risk assessments to unearth necessary mitigation actions to minimise risks to tolerable levels.
Document extraordinary actions in addition to Standard Operating Procedures for governance
Avoid compromising safety procedures

11. Security around assets and passenger protection
Successes achieved with SAPS in proactive policing on trains and stations
PRASA Protection services and service providers daily focus on preventing crime, illegal crossing of railway lines and preventing fare evasion
Number of arrests quarter 1 for Schedule B offences 6530 and Serious crimes 218.
Suspect for train burnings in Pretoria station 23 February 2016 arrested through identification per video surveillance
Amendment Act 18 of 2015 resulted in
All suspects arrested for cable theft in last 3 months denied bail and remain in jail.
One suspect expected to receive a sentence of 15 years for cable theft.

12. Implementation of the recommendations: 2015 Budgetary Review & Recommendation Report.

13. Status of Fleet Manufacturing – ON TRACK
Manufacture of the first set of trains is on track:
Test Train 1 and 2 are currently undergoing safety critical open line testing;
The 1st test train received certificate of Track-Worthiness on 21 April 2016; and
The 1st train already tested for 132km/h speed.

336 are skilled Black Citizens;
185 are woman; and
261 are youth.
Job commitments have been phased in line with Gibela’s operations
Skills Development
Upskilling of approximately individuals over a 10 year period
To date, 337 people have been trained
Gibela has further awarded 180 bursaries, worth approximately R12 million

16. PRASA Rail Service Delivery in Metro’s

17. Declining Patronage
Age and condition of system is catching up with us.
Loss in service capacity (train set availability).
Poor service performance (rolling stock and infrastructure reliability).
Commuters lost confidence in system’s reliability, security situation and lack of communication.
Reluctance to pay (fare evasion) with protests against poor services.
Intimidation and attacks on employees.
Commuters shifting to other modes.
