Botswana is also part of the North-South Corridor which connects the port of Durban through Botswana to Zambia and Tanzania. The major transport corridor is the North-South railway to and from the port of Durban

Exis�ng access to Southern African clients by rail and road

Connec�on currently by road between Botswana coal fields to Lephalale – 120 km

Ac�ve coordina�on with Botswana Rail and Transnet for a current available demand based transporta�on volume of over 20 Mt/a through exis�ng rail system to Richards Bay and other ports
