New task team will fast-track Transnet rail restructuring

# Government has announced plans to establish a technical task team before year-end to finalise the separation of Transnet’s Rail Infrastructure Manager from the group. The latest Operation Vulindlela report says the process is behind schedule, prompting stronger oversight from the Presidency, National Treasury and Transport Department. The restructuring aims to create a more independent rail infrastructure manager, attract investment and give private train operators fairer access to the network. Eleven private operators have already secured rail access agreements.
