The National Rail Policy White Paper will see the rail network opened to participation by the private sector, along with a progressive national move to standard gauge to increase the average speeds of trains, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said on June 2. "Rail is an asset to make a country's logistics and freight transport more efficient. The white paper provides policy certainty and aims to introduce radical structural reforms to enable broader participation in the industry, open new avenues of investments and enable competitiveness," Mbalula said during a visit to the Rhodesfield train station, in Kempton Park.
