@Dotransport Minister Barbara Creecy inspected maintenance work on the Iron Ore Line near Upington, between Loops 15 and 17, today. Accompanied by @follow_transnet Group CEO Michelle Phillips and Group COO Solly Letsoalo. This annual shutdown, led by the Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager (TRIM), runs from 6 to 16 October.
The 861km line transports Iron Ore and Manganese from Sishen in the Northern Cape to the Port of Saldanha in the Western Cape. Work under way during this maintenance shutdown includes rail and sleeper replacement, ballast screening, turnout renewal, formation rehabilitation, culvert installation, and electrical and signalling upgrades.

Today, Transport Minister Barbara Creecy joined Transnet Group Chief Executive Michelle Phillips, Group Chief Operating Officer Solly Letsoalo and the Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager (TRIM) team at the Iron Ore Line near Upington for the annual maintenance shutdown, currently taking place from 6 to 16 October 2026.
As South Africa advances rail reform and opens the freight rail network to third-party train operators, sustained investment in infrastructure is essential to support increased rail capacity and provide a more predictable, reliable service for customers. The October maintenance programme is also contributing to local economic development, creating approximately 1,300 fixed-term employment opportunities and supporting small businesses through the supply of goods and services.
