Background
The project involves the construction of the Trans-Zambezi Railway extension from Grootfontein to Katima Mulilo via Rundu in Namibia.
The project is part of a multinational railway line between Namibia and Zambia via the Zambezi region. Projects on the Zambian side include the 200-km Livingstone – Kazungula – Sesheke rail project, and the 800-km Solwezi – Kaoma – Sesheke rail project.
The cross-border rail project aims to link new mines and mining activities to the railway network along the Walvis Bay – Ndola – Lubumbashi Development Corridor to enable transportation of minerals from the Copperbelt to Walvis Bay.
