National Railways of Zimbabwe: under construction

A consortium DIDG/Transnet has been awareded a tender in August 2017 for the revival of the National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) operations.

However, as there was a "lack of progress" the governement's cabinet had taken the decision to revoke the US $ 400 Million recapitalisation deal. The Zimbabwean governement is of the opinion that the development of the rail sector was critical for the country in order to provide affordable transport for commerce and industry.

However, this decision goes along with the directive to advert for fresh tenders for the NRZ recapitalisation project.
