Metrorail Gauteng said on Tuesday that its preliminary investigation shows that the train derailment in Ekurhuleni was caused by theft of critical infrastructure components worth R1-million – namely the points rods, points machine and clamps. Train 0304 traveling from Springs en route to Johannesburg derailed outside Angelo train station near Boksburg in Ekurhuleni at approximately 04:20 on Tuesday morning. There were no injuries reported.
