ADVOCACY, SAFETY, ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
OUR Objectives
- Policy and Legislative Advocacy: Advocate for policies that facilitate third-party access to rail infrastructure in alignment with the guidelines set by the Rail Safety Regulator (RSR) and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC).
- Safety and Standards Compliance: Collaborate with the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) to ensure the effective implementation and standardisation of rail safety regulations across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
- Economic Integration: Utilise Sector Specific Assistance Scheme (SSAS) funding to strengthen local manufacturing, support black industrialists, and expand exports under the AfCFTA framework, ensuring greater economic integration and growth.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Build and maintain strong public-private partnerships, including with Transnet, to improve procurement processes, support supplier development, and drive the growth of a more efficient and competitive rail sector.
- Investments: Actively seek innovative methods and support policies that unlock investment. This approach improves confidence, positions rail as a driver of economic growth, stabilises the industry and capitalises on the upstream benefits of a strong rail sector.
