# Transnet has initiated a request for qualification to select a private partner for a new rail leasing company, ‘LeaseCo,’ aimed at supplying rolling stock to private train operating companies. This move is part of South Africa’s rail reform programme, aimed at improving competitiveness and encouraging private sector investment. This comes amid efforts to open the network to third-party operators, despite challenges like network conditions and tariff increases. The request for qualification period closes on 4 July.
