The Committee expressed its appreciation on the positive developments Transnet had embarked on, including the company's infrastructure programme. The Committee noted that Transnet was training a considerable number of South African engineers and artisans and wondered if this could not be linked to a national process through the Centre of Excellence. The Committee wanted to know whether the recent squabble between Transnet and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) had been resolved and whether the increase in rail meant that there was a decrease in transport by road.
