It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the role played by my colleagues who were part of the previous RSR Board. This great performance would not have been possible without their dedication and stewardship. The year under review has indeed been exceptional and saw the RSR accentuate the 6th Administration’s apex priorities and the Department of Transport’s Strategic Outcome to ensure an efficient and integrated rail network that accelerates social and economic development. The Regulator aligned its strategic goals and objectives to ensure that all rail industry activities are completed with safety as the main consideration. The Board of Directors focused on discharging their duties of ensuring that the RSR complies with legislation, conducts its business in harmony with the applicable regulatory requirements and ensures that suitable policies, as well as frameworks, are steadfast to promote a culture of compliance within the organisation. In line with this, the Compliance Unit was established to assist the Board in the management of compliance risks, by ensuring that all instances of non-compliance are adequately followed up and resolved. This enabled the RSR to conduct its business activities in an increasingly efficient and effective environment. Throughout the 2019/20 Financial Year, the RSR’s compliance monitoring was prioritised with the organisation ensuring controls and processes to support the requirements of the relevant Acts. These controls and processes were assessed for validity through corroboration of supporting evidence. To this effect, numerous policies were signed off and all departments across the organisation developed Standard Operating Procedures which guarantees that processes are in place to ensure excellent service delivery every time. We are very pleased about the key strategic relationships that were established with the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) in the Gauteng and North-West provinces respectively. To this end, strong relationships are being built that will have mutual benefits for both entities. A lot of work is still required in this space and over time, we hope to see positive impacts on compliance as well as spatial planning, among other priorities. In the new financial year, the RSR will focus on strengthening its mandate by developing a Common Safety Method for Supervision Framework as well as a Financial Sustainability Plan. These will no doubt bring immeasurable value to the industry. Allow me to thank the Minister of Transport, Mr. Fikile Mbalula, the members of the previous Board, the executive team and all the staff members of the RSR as well as our extensive assembly of stakeholders for making the Regulator a significant player in the railway environment. ________________________________________ Mr Boy Johannes Nobunga CHAIRPERSON: RSR BOARD ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 99 Annual Report 2019/20_26_OCT_2020.indd 9 10/26/20 4:29 PM 1010 ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Annual Report 2019/20_26_OCT_2020.indd 10 10/26/20 4:29 PM Chief Executive Officer’s report he past financial year has been both challenging and outstanding for the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR). Notwithstanding the challenges, the Regulator performed exceptionally well. T I am, therefore, truly honoured to present the 2019/20 Annual Report of the RSR which reflects on a year where the RSR achieved a sterling 94 per cent overall performance. As a state-owned entity of the National Department of Transport, the RSR aligned its Annual Performance Plan with the Apex Priorities of the 6th Administration. In line with transforming the economy to serve all South Africans and create jobs, the organisation awarded a total of R3 044 959 for internal and external bursaries during the year under review. The bursaries were awarded to nine staff members and 29 deserving students, who will over time become contributing professionals in industries, including the rail sector. To advance nation-building and social cohesion, the RSR is strengthening the rail regulatory framework through the development of determinations, protocols and guidelines. These tools are aimed at building industry capacity to develop effective safety management approaches as well as the development of an industry safety risk profile to support critical risk mitigation decisions that will result in safer railway operations. These require industry cooperation. To that extent, the RSR reviewed its engagement with the industry by adopting a collaborative approach in mitigating the risks of railway occurrences and thereby reducing the number of occurrences. Throughout the financial year, the Supply Chain Management (SCM) unit continued to ensure compliance with legislation, National Treasury

As we celebrate this giant of history, we need to emulate his spirit of resilience despite the challenges that confront us in our areas of operation. The National Development Plan (NDP) 2030 and the National Transport Master Plan (NATMAP) 2050 recognise the need for South Africa to maintain and expand its transport infrastructure to continue supporting its economic growth and social development goals. NATMAP further states that rail is an essential long-term component of freight and passenger transport networks in the country. With over 3 180km of suburban rail networks, commuters continue to receive passenger rail service in the metropolitan areas of the Eastern Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape at an affordable price. In tandem, Gauteng underway on the existing network, together with a constant boasts the state-of-the-art Gautrain, which comprises two lookout for opportunities to migrate portions to standard links: one between Tshwane and Johannesburg and another gauge network where sensible. between OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton. Using the standard gauge lines, the train operates at a maximum While I am delighted by the transformation of our rail speed of 160km/h. This is an unprecedented milestone in the environment, I cannot accentuate enough that with every history of South African rail and has assisted in significantly development, come new risks that needs to be responded to alleviating traffic from our roads.

  • Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector
    Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector 4.1 State of Technology and challenges of Railway-related Fields In this study, the Study Team conducted field surveys and interviews of railway companies, administrative entities, and related organizations regarding the state of technology and issues of various fields related to railway. The following are the results and challenges for the future. 4.1.1 Rolling Stock This section will mainly cover the specifications of rolling stock and maintenance. The making of new rolling stock will be covered in “4.3 State of Related Private Sectors, Supporting Industries, and Issues.” (1) Current Status 1) Characteristics of Rolling Stock In South Africa, railways are electrified using 3kV DC, 25 kV AC, and 50 kV AC. Suburban lines near big cities use DC as they were electrified at a relatively early period. The rural lines mainly use AC. The Iron Ore Line (Sishen–Saldanha section) uses 50 kV AC electrification, which is quite rare in the world. For this reason, various types and models of rolling stock are in use, including electric locomotives that can be used for various electrification methods and non-electrified sections, diesel electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, and electric multiple units (EMUs). DC motor is used mainly for the traction motor of locomotives and the motor cars of EMU; however, AC induction motor, which is the world standard today, is used for Series 19E and 15E electric locomotives. Both the freight trains and passenger trains of the South African National Railway use vacuum brake as the main braking system.

  • Railway Safety Regulator (Rsr)
    31/03/2021 Attention: James Stent GroundUp MEDIA RESPONSE - RAILWAY SAFETY REGULATOR (RSR) Herewith in response to your enquiries dated 31 March 2021. 1 Ms Tabane was appointed as Executive: Legal Services and Governance subject to a 6-month probation period. All appointments that are subject to probation are regulated by the Probation Policy ("Policy"). The Policy provides for two reviews during the probation period, the purpose of which are to review and assess the employee's performance (skills, conduct, capabilities etc.) and compatibility with the organisation. If the performance is satisfactory, a probation report confirming suitability will be filed. As such, Ms Tabane's appointments was subject to the successful completion of the probation period. 2 The confusion seems to relate to the Performance Management Policy. The review of performance during probation is addressed by way of the mechanism set out in the Probation Policy, and the Performance Management Policy does not find application. 3 Ms Tabane refused to prepare the requisite documents and subject herself to a performance review as prescribed in the Policy. If an employee's performance is not reviewed and/or assessed, their employment cannot be confirmed because a pertinent question remains unanswered – Is the employee competent and suitable for the position? 4 The Policy provides for the extension of the probation period in circumstances where the employee's performance is found to be unsatisfactory during the probation period. It thus follows that where a performance
