The suicide was successful and the train stopped only to be hit by another train that had started off 15 minutes behind the first but caught up due to the unexpected stoppage. Amazingly this resulted in only one further death but we don't even talk about the injured. There is no signaling system in place and Train drivers have no way of knowing what is happening on the line ahead. So no doubt they will get together another lumbering commission of enquiry to establish what is obvious instead of actually spending money to upgrade South Africa's pathetic public transport service and system. However South Africa is very good at pointing out alleged failings in other countries.
Vigilantism is in at the moment.
On the lighter side one story that captured everyone's imagination was when a thief smashed the car window of an elderly Kugel in Parktown and ran off with her bag. The victim left her car idling in the traffic and set off in tottering pursuit. After catching him they did the requisite thumping and kicking. On the darker side we have a population frustrated at constantly being victims of crime and the lack of effective policing. At the moment people are doing what comes naturally, an eye for an eye sort of thing.
