Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana team up for regional rail project

“We are working with our brothers in Zimbabwe so that we can link the Machipanda line to Zimbabwe,” said Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi, adding that further discussions between the three countries involved will take place “in the coming weeks.”

“The proposal has been there for some time to make the linkage. In fact, the idea is to link the region through Zimbabwe. As you know, Zimbabwe and Botswana railways have been linked and worked together in the past; the same arrangement was there between Mozambique and Zimbabwe,” the Zimbabwean Ambassador to Mozambique said.
