The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) has been issued with a temporary safety permit, the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) said on Thursday.
It has also, however, issued Prasa with a contravention notice for operating trains on August 1 without a valid safety permit.
In a statement on Thursday, it said the temporary permit was valid only from August 2-August 31.
"It is the view of the RSR that the issuance of a Temporary Safety Permit will assist Prasa in continuing with their operations, but most importantly, provide Prasa with another opportunity to develop robust action plans that will address the identified inadequacies," said RSR's spokesperson Madelein Williams.
