Issue 271 - 17 Feb 2014 | 1 minute read

South African freight and logistics provider Grindrod has announced plans to work with Zambia’s Northwest Rail Company (NWR) to build, operate and maintain a new 590km railway from Chingola in the heart of the old Zambian Copperbelt to the Angolan border. NWR is run by former Zambian vice-president Enoch Kavindele. The Zambian government granted the company the right to build and run the railway in July 2006, and the agreement with Grindrod will enable the parties to conclude a bankable feasibility study.
