💨 Abstract

South Africa is moving forward with plans for its first bullet train, aimed at connecting Polokwane in Limpopo to Pretoria in Gauteng by 2030. The Limpopo-Gauteng Speed Train Project, announced in 2023, is currently undergoing feasibility and environmental impact assessments. Led by national and provincial government, along with private and foreign investors, the project faces challenges such as land acquisition.
