You reap what you sow, so people in South Africa won't be surprised by a bunch of Black non-paying commuters setting a train alight in protest in being asked to produce their tickets. This is exactly the behaviour the ANC encouraged from the Blacks during Apartheid - anything they didn't agree with, they just burned. Schools, libraries, people - yes, especially people where they finessed the necklacing technique. For any readers out there who didn't follow that liberating pastime of necklacing by Black South Africans then this is how it worked - anyone (Black men or women) who appeared against the ANC or their "liberation" agenda was rounded up, beaten and then a car tyre was placed around their necks (that's where the necklacing moniker comes from). Not only did you get this special necklace, but then you also had it set alight whilst you were wearing it whilst your Black struggle brothers and sisters cheered and watched you burn alive . This was a barbaric and gruesome way to die and sent out the exact message the ANC wanted to convey - if you went against them then you would burn and die an awful death whilst people cheered. Fear mongering 101 and it worked a treat - look what the ANC achieved - the peaceful hand-over of a whole functioning country without having to truly fight for it. So, to continue the theme, the Black masses in South Africa burn anything they don't agree with and today it was a train. All so that they didn't have to produce a ticket!
Johannesburg - A Metrorail train, travelling between Johannesburg and Pretoria, was set alight on Thursday night, Passenger Rail Agency of SA said.
"This incident occurred following a ticket verification action at Irene station by Metrorail staff," spokesperson Lillian Mofokeng said in a statement.
"It is alleged that commuters that were onboard the train that were caught without valid train tickets set the train alight."
The train was set alight between Kaalfontein and Oakmor, she said.
No one was hurt and the 26 passengers that were on the train were taken to their destinations by taxi.
Metrorail's Gauteng Manager Tembela Kulu said: "We cannot tolerate such actions from commuters that refuse to pay for services and we will intensify our efforts to work with the police and the community at large to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested".
Mofokeng said the line was being cleared and would be assessed to ascertain whether it was safe to operate Friday's morning peak train service.
