The government has achieved momentum towards realising plans for the long-mooted high-speed rail connection between Durban and Johannesburg, a proposed project that is now undergoing a feasibility study.
Premier Thami Ntuli, addressing delegates at the 2025 KwaZulu-Natal Investment Conference in Durban on Wednesday, highlighted rail as a cornerstone of the provinces infrastructure ambitions, critical to unlocking regional potential. The two-day conference showcases the province as a premier trade and investment destination in Africa, while aiming to drive inclusive economic growth.
Ntuli emphasised the importance of modernising transport infrastructure to enhance the provinces competitiveness.
