SA rail can aid Botswana coal miners

A joint effort by the South African and Botswanan governments, as well as their respective rail agencies, to support rail infrastructure to facilitate coal exports from Botswana could enable Botswana-based coal miners, such as Minergy, to become more competitive, says Minergy CEO Morné du Plessis. “We believe that South Africa has the best coal-handling facilities in Southern Africa. We are keen to tap into that, as Botswana is a landlocked country.”
