In this edition of Coffee with the Editor, filmed during the Railway Safety Conference hosted by the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) under the theme "Rail Renaissance", we sit down with Ms Nompumelelo Sibongile Ekeke, the Chairperson of the RSR.
Ms Ekeke shares key insights into the state of South Africa's rail industry, the critical need to move freight off ageing roads and back onto rail, and the importance of modernising the rail sector with innovative solutions. She also discusses the growing synergy within the industry, especially with Transnet now under the Department of Transport, and the preparations being made for the integration of third-party operators.
We also touch on the upcoming Safety Bill and the importance of safety in rail operations, gender transformation in the rail industry, and the inaugural Rail Safety Awards set for 24 October in Johannesburg.
Join us for an insightful conversation about the future of rail in South Africa and the ongoing efforts to create a safer, more efficient, and inclusive rail network.
