Railway Transport and Manufacture of Locomotives & Rolling Stock
Freight and passenger rail transport and the manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock in South Africa is dominated by Transnet, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) and Gautrain, all of which are feeling the effects of the poor economy on passenger numbers, freight volumes and costs. Additionally, Transnet and Prasa have been directly linked to allegations of state capture and various corporate governance contraventions and wrongful activities including the award of multi-billion-rand contracts.
Recovery Plan
The proposed National Rail Policy plans to stimulate a renaissance in the South African railway sector by introducing remedial infrastructural investment and institutional interventions to position rail as the backbone of the national transport sector. About 42% of the more than R750bn investment in infrastructure projects to 2050 in terms of the National Transport Master Plan is earmarked for the rail sector.
Proposed capital expenditure and expansion projects of Transnet, Prasa, and Gautrain are expected to lead this revival. Gautrain plans to extend its route while Prasa plans to arrest its decline and return to stability while renewing its rolling stock. Transnet's strategy is based on the digitisation and integration of all elements in the value chain.
