Mandela Day is a celebration of a brave conviction to turn a period of oppression, inequality and injustice around. A celebration of a person constrained so a nation can gain its freedom. May we also as a nation be convicted towards a cause, to play our part in combating poverty and inequality. Let us be instrumental in creating sustainable communities. Happy Mandela Day. #traxtion #beexponential #mandeladay #67minutes #sustainability #communities #southafrica

The move to open South Africa's rail network to the private sector, as highlighted in a recent Daily Maverick article is a strategic shift, driven by the National Rail Policy and ERT Bill, promising to revitalise the country's freight rail sector. Traxtion is excited for this opportunity, recognising the potential to enhance freight transportation, improve rail infrastructure, and most importantly drive economic growth. Fostering a collaboration between public and private entities, can transform our sector and set a new standard for efficiency and innovation in transport.

#fbf to last week's gathering of railroaders at the Sandton Convention Centre for the 2024 Africa Rail Conference hosted by Terrapinn. We used the opportunity to show case our capabilities and engage various stakeholders in the sector about our product and service offerings. We also used the opportunity to position how our ability to connect Africa in the fore years has equipped us to take up the looming opportunities in South Africa, and Africa, especially in the face of the rapid move by the region towards rail reform. Our team put its best foot forward, the audience was receptive to engagements at various levels and Terrapin delivered on yet another stellar of an event. Overall, a great day in office! We are Traxtion. We are passionate about changing how freight moves in Africa. #traxtion #beexponential #africarail #terrappin #rail #railways #railroad #freight #africa #economicgrowth
