thousands of families live on railway reserves without water electricity or rubbish collection

Thousands of families living between Langa and Bonteheuwel train stations on the Central Line lack access to tap water and have no formal electricity supply.

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa PRASA says the City of Cape Town is responsible for providing services to Siyahlala, as the settlement is known. This is not the same Sihahlala in Dunoon that GroundUp reported on earlier this week. But the City says PRASA has not authorised the provision of services on its land.
