New high-capacity railroad planned for South Africa

The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) plans to build a new rail corridor between Gauteng and the Eastern Cape to help reduce congestion at Durban's port.

To facilitate the deliveries of KFC and t-shirts?

If only we had thought of this earlier and just maintained the existing railway at the port

That would mean having the capacity to think and make plans ahead.

Ok cool, so a special rail for the cars...

Are the ports in EC capable of the additional capacities required, or is that for a different pot of money to be bled dry by corruption?

just another (poor) excuse to loot and steal, what did you expect from the ANC?

Meanwhile our current infrastructure ..

Wow...I'd prefer to load up our car on a train and take a trip somewhere as a fun thing to do with the family. Unload it at the destination and drive around. It would be safe, interesting and something completely different and novel.
If only we had a railway system that would allow that. Wait, we did...and then the ANC took over and screwed it all up!
