Coal mining firms in Hwange are finalizing a strategy to refurbish the local railway network connecting the coal fields to their markets. The initiative, which has full government support, aims to create a more efficient and cost-effective logistics corridor for the region's mining industry.
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga confirmed the companies are preparing a position paper for the Office of the President and Cabinet. He stated that an efficient rail system is a critical enabler for the coal business, allowing products to be transported to markets more effectively. The government is encouraging this collaborative effort.
Richard Moyo, the Minister of State for Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs and Devolution, expressed strong provincial support for the project. He noted that moving coal by rail would help preserve the national road infrastructure, which is currently burdened by heavy trucks, thereby increasing its durability.
