Transnet reveals details of plan to rope in private sector to fix its rail network

Quick Glance: Transnet Plans Partnership with Private Sector for Rail Network

Transnet has begun the process of partnering with private sector companies to operate trains independently on its vast rail network in South Africa.

Transnet is set to open up its rail network to the private sector starting in April 2024, unlocking billions from companies for upgrading the country's transport infrastructure.

Transnet's partnership with private sector players was revived by President Cyril Ramaphosa as urgent reforms at the state-owned entity are needed due to its massive debt load.

The liberalization of rail in South Africa is being advanced by Transnet selling rail slots to third parties, allowing them to introduce electric locomotives and shift traffic onto rail.

Funding has been secured for feasibility studies on the Point Container Terminal development, with additional projects including a new navy base in Richards Bay and various infrastructure enhancements at both ports.
