The African Development Bank (AfDB) announced on Thursday that it has approved a $1 billion loan to support Transnet, South Africa's beleaguered logistics company.
Transnet, a state-owned enterprise, has faced significant challenges in delivering adequate freight rail and port services. These issues stem from prolonged equipment shortages and deferred maintenance, attributed to years of under-investment.
The approved loan aims to provide the necessary financial support for Transnet to execute its recovery plan and improve its logistics capabilities.
