Hallo Everyone,

I have been watching this post for the last few days, but no replies or discussions seem to be forthcoming. I am curious as to what all of this formal wording and talk about "deadlines" actually mean. Is this a final disposal by Transnet of its steam and heritage assets, or is it merely an administrative process aimed at renewing and formalising existing agreements? How should it be interpreted? in the case of a final disposal, I would expect quite a lot more argument and discussion, but everything seems quiet on the forum. Would somebody with more insight be willing to shed some light on this matter?

Thank you,

Hansie

After a brief look at the guidelines, it would seem FotR has a very good scoring potential.

Now, which assets should we have? :-)
