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.
