Transnet Freight Rail has completed the construction of the Mamathwane crossing loop in the Northern Cape 30 days ahead of schedule, unlocking extra railing capacity for manganese exports. | News24_Business

The state-owned logistics company said the extension would take an estimated 40 540 trucks off the roads per annum. The completion of the Mamathwane project, originally scheduled for the end of July, will decongest this section and allow for an additional four rail slots per week, enabling further volumes.

The development follows on a contentious move in which TFR reallocated 2 million tonnes of some 14 million tonnes' railing capacity away from major manganese producers for the benefit of emerging manganese miners.
