revitalized.

The comprehensive refurbishment and renovation of Chris Hani Station, executed by the DINGA SOMBS JV on behalf of PRASA, is a landmark project restoring dignity and safety to a key commuter hub in Khayelitsha, Cape Town. With a contract value of R10,625,756.97 (incl. VAT), the project spans new ablutions, security hardening, electrical works, and civil infrastructure.

Scope of Work

• Ablutions & Public Facilities: Installation of public toilets, mass area mirrors, handwash basins, accessible grab rails, and toilet roll holders.
• Security Hardening: Anti-bandit doors, bulletproof glazing for the ticket office, PA system setup, and perimeter fencing (95% complete).
• Electrical & Lighting: Platform shelter lights, kiosks, flood lighting, and walkway lights.
• Civil Works: Driveway layer works, asphalt resurfacing, and stormwater management preparation.

Current Execution & Technical Installations

Phase 2 is tracking 8% ahead of schedule, with 91% of work completed against an 83% time elapse. Key installations in progress include:

• Ticket Office Security: Anti-bandit doors and bulletproof glazing are in manufacturing, expected by mid‑December 2025. Existing door frames will be removed prior to delivery.
• Electronics & PA: Engagement with Vhukudo Security Systems underway; however, additional guidance is required for the broader electronics scope.
• Perimeter Fencing: 95% complete. The remaining 5% is delayed by a neighbouring scrapyard encroaching onto PRASA property.
• HVAC: Awaiting final fan installation before commissioning and full testing.
