(c) (i) Each incident is reported to the Risk and security department at the MLCC (Main Line
Control Centre) where it is registered with a specific reference number. Internal Security investigates, and targets identified hot spots and executes special action plans to minimize the incidents.
(ii) Majority of the vandalism is theft of copper and aluminum train parts which has a high
monitory value at scrap dealers. Another challenge is stone throwing at trains en-route on certain corridors. Due to the numbers involved internal investigations are not done for each case. Cases are opened with SAPS with the available information. See attached Annexure with case numbers.
