SA – #ONTRACK The proposed high-speed rail link between Gauteng and Limpopo is gaining momentum and promises enhanced connectivity and economic integration in South Africa, according to government. Gauteng Tourism Authority (GTA) says it will also drive tourism. This ambitious initiative, a collaboration between the provincial governments of Gauteng and Limpopo, has reached significant milestones and promises transformative benefits for the region’s commuters, businesses and tourists, says government. The Gautrain is also planning a massive expansion in 2026, adding another 150km of track and 19 new stations across Gauteng – this expansion will link up with the new line to Limpopo. The rail link expected to enhance tourism through joint marketing initiatives between the provinces, including promoting a golfing route and shared signature events. The final timeline for the project’s completion remains unclear, the new masterplan is expected to be finalised by the end of 2025.
