Saturday, 31 May 2008
At the Eastern Cape Rail Conference in Port Elizabeth, attended by some 300 delegates at the beginning of May, national Transport Minister Jeff Radebe revealed that a memorandum of understanding is being finalised between the national departments of transport and public enterprises and Transnet Freight Rail that will see tourism rail lines, branch lines and “no service” lines transferred to the Department of Transport.
