No repeat history - Mabeo vows

The first batch of coaches from Transnet comprised of 22 coaches which were delivered in March, quickly developed all manner of technical problems.

The glitches and subsequent public outrage led to revelations that the coaches were not all new, as part of them had been refurbished. As news spread that Transnet had on Monday handed over the balance of Botswana Railways’ (BR) order, Mabeo was quick to allay fears that there would not be a repeat of the problems that engulfed the March launch.
