    South Africa’s rail network opens to 11 private firms

    South Africa has granted 11 private companies permission to operate trains on its national rail network for the first time in over 100 years, aiming to boost mineral exports and relieve financial strain on state-owned Transnet. This regulatory shift allows private operators like MSC and Grindrol to use a slot system on the network to meet growing global demand for African raw materials. The move is intended to reverse years of infrastructure decline caused by corruption and mismanagement at Transnet.
