Transnet to cut South Africa’s rail network by 7,000km

Transnet plans to shrink South Africa's 20,000-kilometer freight rail network it operates by at least 35% as it focuses on delivering more profitable cargo loads.

Actually what they are saying is they will stop maintaining and fixing 7 000KM of rail network, which is mostly already destroyed.

This figure will go up though.

Clown idiots.

Goodbye to the already failing road infrastructure.

Yay... Another good story to tell from our glorious leaders.

Have you seen the amount of trucks on our roads...what a disgrace. The clutchplates and limeys during Apartheid designed and built a well developed rail system for heavy good deliveries.

I dunno why these natives can't think straight... all they use their minds for is ways to enrich themselves. This is the main factor that seperates Africa from the rest of the civilised world.

Like I said in another thread... SA has been on autopilot with pre '94 infrastructure and now the plane is running out of fuel with no pilot in the cockpit. Everything is collapsing.

You clearly know nothing about auto pilot.

Try, no autopilot and no pilot.

Thats because 7000km of it is already knackered up...

It would be a very short book if these fools were to write about anything they have built in the past 1000 years. Even an SMS would have available characters remaining. Cancer on the earth.

Here in SA we do not Upgrade we only Downgrade. What has these fools been doing the last 3 decades.

The N2 has on the South Coast has been broken for so long that Google Maps reports the traffic jam on that stretch as normal traffic
