Illegal immigrant who ripped up working railway line gets six years’ jail

DUISBURG, GERMANY - JULY 16: Containers are seen at train station in the Duisburg port (DIT Duisburg Intermodal Terminal) on July 16, 2018 in Duisburg, Germany. Approximately 25 trains a week use the "Silk Road" connection between Duisburg and the Chinese cities of Congqing and Yiwu. Several European countries use the Duisburg China rail hub for both importing goods from China and exporting goods to China. (Photo by Maja Hitij/Getty Images)

A Zimbabwean who was in the country illegally and caught red-handed with pieces of railway track that he had stripped and stolen was sentenced to six years in jail by the Pretoria regional court on Wednesday.

Twenty-six-year-old Petros Vingiran had been found guilty of theft of essential infrastructure.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Lumka Mahajana said Vingiran had pleaded guilty to the crime and to entering SA illegally.

“On October 27 2021, at Koedoespoort campus on a functional railway line, Vingiran was found by security guards stealing locomotive bearings valued at R132,000 that belonged to Transnet. The guards alerted the police and he was arrested on the scene,” said Mahajana.

“Prosecutor Dru Ramsamy asked the court to impose a prescribed minimum sentence, because of the effects this type of offence had in the community. Money that is supposed to be spent on developing communities is instead spent on replacing damaged items and tightening security,” she added.

“Furthermore, Ramsay said, “Vingiran had no regard for the laws of the country over and above being an illegal immigrant.”

The NPA welcomed the sentence.
