In this Coffee with the Editor episode, filmed at the Railway Safety Conference hosted by the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) in Cape Town, Railways Africa Magazine speaks with Gautrain Management Agency CEO, Tshepo Kgobe. Tshepo provides insights into the exciting developments for the Gautrain, including plans for network expansion, which will extend the Gautrain network to nearly 360 kilometres. This expansion will link key areas such as SEZs, Pretoria and Johannesburg, creating a powerful tool for economic growth in Gauteng and neighbouring provinces.
Tshepo also discusses future high-speed rail projects, station locations, and a vision for Gautrain’s role in regional and international rail networks. He highlights the importance of infrastructure development for economic growth, quoting Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s vision: “Let the cranes go up, and the crime come down.”
Beyond Gauteng, the Gautrain Management Agency is working on international rail projects in Africa, including Namibia and looking at innovative solutions for managing rail projects and operations across the continent.
This interview offers a glimpse into the future of rail in South Africa and how the Gautrain is positioning itself as a key player in the broader African rail network.
