Government’s new plan to shift cargo from roads back to rail

While the economy loses a billion rand per day to its logistics crises, government has said an urgent turnaround is needed to improve its 31 000km locomotive network as more and more cargo moves from rail to trucks. The Department of Transport hosted a discussion with industry stakeholders regarding the Freight Road to Rail Migration Plan on Thursday – the latest development in the wake of President Cyril Ramaphosa forming the National Logistics Crisis Committee last year. Transnet, the South African National Roads Agency and private sector companies were all in attendance.

The DoT’s deputy director-general, Rirhandzu Mashava, said operational deficiencies and underinvestment in railway infrastructure mean that South Africa’s railway has been unable to handle increasing cargo movement demand, resulting in expensive transport costs for businesses.
