BR to resume internal accident investigations

“I am a bit hampered by this inquiry because I was advised against running my own investigation parallel to this inquiry. But once this process concludes, then I would start my investigation and work on the way forward on issues of health and safety,” Makwinja told the BR inquiry Board held at the Mahalapye Cresta Hotel.

The Board of inquiry was constituted by government to look into the BR train’s fatal derailment last year near Mahalapye. Makwinja admitted that the BR house was not in order, but disclosed that processes were being rolled out to bring the national rail service to stability.
