ADVOCACY, SAFETY, ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

OUR Objectives

  1. 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).
  2.  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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
