South Africa,Freight Industry,Roadmap

The South African cabinet has approved a new roadmap aimed at fixing the challenges that the country’s freight industry faces, which include unused and unusable rails, faulty infrastructure, and the shift of freight to roads.

The South African cabinet has approved a new roadmap to address the challenges faced by the country's freight industry. The plan includes fixing run-down trains, securing railroads from thieves and vandals, and injecting funds into the company. Transnet, which has lost 80 percent of its rail freight to trucks, has no set timeline for when the plan will take effect. The rail networks were left abandoned during the COVID-19 lockdowns and were never recovered.
