6 Rail Development Plans Gauteng: Freight Ring Concept Gauteng is at the centre of most regional and port connections in Southern Africa Flows are complex and there are no clear bypass routes A freight ring can potentially - –Facilitate uninterrupted flow of freight –Provide a key link between Hubs and Terminals –Provide dedicated freight routes segregated from congested PRASA routes. –Set a logical separation of electrification between 3kV DC and 25kV AC.

8 Rail Development Plans Gauteng Freight Ring Concept The eventual freight ring will not be closed on the western side because no feasible route was found. Instead, a bypass further west connecting Rustenburg, Swartruggens, Lichtenburg and Mafikeng is proposed but only if volumes justify the investment. Source: Transnet Group Planning
