The South African Majuba rail project is expected to be completed by December 2017. Once commissioned, the security of coal supply through logistics solutions at the Majuba and Tutuka power stations will transport approximately 21 million tonnes of coal per year by rail.
The Majuba Rail Project is a component of the Eskom Road to Rail Initiative with the construction of a railway line that links the Majuba Power Station to the main coal railway hub in the town of Ermelo in Mpumalanga. The 68 km corridor is the first large greenfield freight-rail infrastructure project to be carried out in South Africa since 1986 and will be operated by Transnet Freight Rail (TFR).
