# Transnet is seeking private sector partners to refurbish, finance, operate and maintain South Africa’s B-Network railway lines, covering approximately nine-thousand-and-98-kilometres. Through the Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager, government has published a Request for Information, inviting interested parties to submit proposals for partnership opportunities. TRIM CEO Moshe Motlohi says the introduction of private sector participation opportunities on the B-Network is a critical step in reforming South Africa’s freight logistics system. He adds that the information gathered will guide the design of procurement programmes for the national rail network to improve performance.
