Rehabilitation of Kranzberg – Tsumeb Railway Line
Kranzberg is a critical siding which plays a pictoal role in directing rail traffic from the hinterland of Namibia to the coast and further north. Tsumeb is a major mining town which connects the northern part of the country with the central, coastal and midland business hubs.
Covering some 392 kilometres, this project includes the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of railway track.
It has been ongoing since 2012 and provides a lifeline to communities along the way through employment and corporate social responsibility activities.
