The railway sector in the SADC region continues to face a myriad of challenges. That’s according to Transport Minister Barbara Creecy. She was speaking at the 13th annual Southern African Railway Association conference at the Sandton Convention Center, under the theme “Boosting Continental Trade via Rail”.
Creecy says rail infrastructure is being destroyed by extreme weather conditions. She says to mitigate climate change, the sector needs to adopt cleaner fuels and new technologies.
