The investigation by South African Railways into the April 21 Rovos accident is on-going. I hope to have the details of the full report in due course. Please contact our offices should you have any queries. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks for the generous donations received to date for the accident fund set up for Seth, Esther and Margareths' families.
