SA’s rail reform finds traction

Detailed summary

Grindrod’s successful test train signals what public-private collaboration can achieve.

Just goes to show how low our standards have become. In a developed country I doubt the movement of one train would attract such celebration. Movement of 100 trains would not even be noticed, that’s just normal daily life. No reflection on Grindrod or SAAFF of course, they probably have been champing at the bit for a long time to get things moving. Of course every small positive step is great vs. the past, but it’s nothing significant vs. where it should be.
