The department of transport has developed a plan to "test the water" for a new 300km/h high-speed railway between Johannesburg and Durban by launching a new era of long distance regional rapid transit in SA.
Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy launched a request for information (RFI) process on Sunday for potential private partners to provide insights and innovative ideas for investment in a new generation of faster, safer and more frequent regional trains and four other potential private-sector-participation passenger rail system opportunities.
She said the 120km/h regional trains will use the existing network and connect cities like Pretoria, Johannesburg, Polokwane, Musina, Mbombela and Durban, with plans to build new 160km/h-200km/h regional lines.

Parasites eat and the sick suffer
Our story and photograph on page 3 today sum up so much that's wrong with South Africa. Sick people, including the elderly and mothers with infants, queue for hours under a torn canvas partially covering a steel frame that provides little protection from the elements. And 10 years and R20 million later, they still don't have a proper clinic.
