  3. INTRODUCTION Financial Year 11/12 significant & historic for passenger railways • Commencement of Fleet Renewal Programme • Commencement of National Signaling Upgrade Programme South African Railways – both Freight and Passenger have entered new cycle of investment, renewal ,capacity expansion, technology upgrades to support the country’s long term growth PRASA’s three principal tasks at heart of strategy: • Modernisation • Short –Term visible improvements in quality of train services • Securing PRASA’s financial sustainability

  4. BACKROUND PRASA established to house the assets, finances, personnel and operations of the former SARCC, its subsidiary, Intersite, Metrorail, ShosholozaMeyl and Autopax - Owns, Manages, Operates, Maintains Assets under its control. End fragmentation in passenger services Invest and Revitalise rail passenger transport PRASA established to be the leading provider of Integrated Public Transport Solutions

  5. CHALLENGES FACING PASSENGER RAIL Railway infrastructure and technology has reached the end of its design lifespan • Poor levels of reliability and predictability • High costs of maintenance • Failure to contribute to an efficient transport system • Inability to support economic development • Limited access to socio-economic opportunities for rural and urban poor

  12. Station Modernisation- Rebranding & Wayfinding Signage

  13. Station Upgrades and Modernisation Cape Town Station

  14. HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR

  15. LOWLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR • Irregular expenditure – R25.676 million mainly due to lapsed contracts at Autopax • Wasteful expenditure – R5 million due to late payment interest charges   • Shosholoza Meyl challenges -  • Severe impact on PRASA’s operational cash flow with R1,1billion over 24 months – a PRASA cross-subsidy • Revenues and subsidy do not cover minimum operational expenditure shown as R1,4billion p.a. by due diligence of 2008. • Passengers declined 7,5%.

LOWLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR • Property Portfolio still not delivering value, with income being 48,8% below budget, with the Non-timely Approval of Section 54 PFMA request to DOT being one of the major contributing factors; • Quality of Service in PRASA Rail • Poor demand due to slow economic recovery, industry capacity constraints, crime and vandalism of key assets such as signal cables • Poor levels of reliability of aged infrastructure • Operational Inefficiencies and outdated methods • Two accidents in April and May of 2011 resulted in increased injury rate of 59%.

  17. TIMING OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS OF EQUITY PARTNERS The Bidders, as part of their bid responses will be expected to indicate the percentage of equity for the BEE Partners The process to procure the Equity Partners will commence in October 2012, the anticipated timetable is indicated below

  18. PROGRESS ON KEY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

  19. SIGNALLING PROGRAMME • Upgrading the signalling system of PRASA key strategic priority • Only 23 of the 163 (14%) of the signalling installations have not reached the end of their design lives • PRASA is replacing all existing signalling interlocking, which consists mainly of obsolete mechanical and electro-mechanical systems, with electronic interlockings as the technology of choice. • Gauteng Phase 1 currently underway • Board has approved Kwazulu – Natal and Western Cape • Gauteng Phase under evaluation • The signallingprogramme is one of the key priorities of PRASA over the period ahead. In the next three years, the project has been allocated an amount of R2.4 billion, including telecommunication, with R768 million in 2012/13, R814 million in 2013/14 and R855 million in 2014/15.

  20. BRIDGE CITY • Bridge City a new town centre being created 17 kilometres from the Durban city centre, bridging the communities of Phoenix and Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu (INK) and linking them into the urban system • PRASA constructing a 3.2km rail extension - the rail service will be complemented by an integrated bus and taxi interchange located adjacent to the railway station • The overall developments in the area include a regional hospital, retail, residential, magistrate’s court and other commercial facilities. PRASA will spend approximately R700 million for the construction of the rail line. • Phase 1 – Station Box (100% complete) • Phase 2 - Construction of the new station building (100% complete) • Phase 3 – Construction of the new rail link.

  21.

  24. Greenview Capacity Enhancement Project • Mamelodi is one of PRASA’s Priority “A” corridors in terms of demand and rail activity. • Daily passengers on corridor = 91 000. Peak hours passengers = 38 000. • Section from Eerste Fabrieke towards east has most passenger demand. • Rail line from Eerste Fabrieke is currently only a single line, causing a 30 minute delay for turn-around of trains. • The communities stopped trains in 2009 as communities of Greenview and Pienaarspoort have no access to rail services. • Greenview doubling and additional station capacity will provide for 50% increase in passengers over medium to long term(39 000 passengers  58 000 passengers per day. • Doubling of the line with new signaling and additional rolling stock will increase capacity with 100% (Currently 114 trains per day on the section).

  25. Progress on Key Infratructure Projects Mamelodi Extension with new Greenview station, doubling of lines and upgraded Pienaarspoort and Mamelodi stations • Progress as at end September 2012 • Doubling of line - 65% complete • Delays as result of liquidation of main contractor • Key steps for 2012/13 • Completion of doubling of line - June 2013 • Tender re-award for Mamelodi Upgrade and Greenview - April 2012 • Delay as result of default of preferred bidder • Construction to commence Mamelodi and Greenview - May 2012 • Tender award for Pienaarspoort station upgrade - May 2012 • Construction to commence - June 2012 • Completion of all stations - June 2013
