95 VUT Civil Engineering Students Get a First-Hand Look at PRASA!

On 29 September 2026, Gauteng Metrorail welcomed 95 second-year Civil Engineering students from Vaal University of Technology (VUT) for an exciting and informative visit to learn more about how things work behind the scenes at PRASA.

The students had the opportunity to engage with our Permanent Way Civil Engineers, who shared insights into their day-to-day work and gave the students a better understanding of the important role civil engineering plays in maintaining and supporting our railway infrastructure.

The learning experience continued at the Braamfontein Rolling Stock Department, where the students got a closer look at how our new trains are maintained and the work that goes into keeping our rolling stock in operation.

The students also had the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with managers and leaders from various areas of PRASA, including Marketing, Permanent Way, Risk, Training and Development, the South Corridor, and Rolling Stock.

From technical work and railway infrastructure to training, risk management and customer engagement, the visit gave the students a broader view of the many different disciplines that come together to keep the railway moving.

And, of course, it wasn't all work! The day was filled with learning, questions, interaction and plenty of fun.

We are proud to open our doors to young people who are preparing for careers in engineering and the broader transport sector. Experiences like these help bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace, giving students an opportunity to see their studies applied in a real working environment.

Thank you to the Vaal University of Technology students and lecturers for spending the day with us, and to all the PRASA teams and managers who contributed to making the visit a memorable and valuable experience.

Building knowledge. Inspiring future engineers. Moving South Africa forward.
