WHY CAN’T TRAIN SURFING BE STOPPED?

from Afternoon Talk Hosted by SAfm

Thembela Khulu- Provincial Manager for Metro Rail Gauteng Guest: Mduduzi Dlamini - Shiya Mrider Drama Project (Spyland Jova Productions) Guest : Mphonyana Mataile – Shiya Mrider Drama Project ( Spyland Jova Productions) There are not many places in the world where you could get away with something like this, but South Africa seems to be one of them. And for too many, the risk is far greater than prison time. They call it ‘staff riding’, a scarily common sport for dare-devil thrill-seekers which involves jumping aboard moving trains and surfing on the carriage roofs, dodging 3,000 volt electric cables. Some say it’s a means of finding release or even a way to express themselves.
