The Cape Corridor is our main manganese export channel that runs from the mining block in Hotazel in the Northern Cape and connects to the Ports of Gqeberha, East London and Cape Town.  In addition to its core commodity, Cape Corridor boasts a wide-ranging general freight and agriculture commodity business focus with volume growth increasing annually. Some of these commodities include domestic iron ore, cement, non-ferrous metals, containers, titanium, lime, malt, barley, grain, fertilizer, zirconium, automotive, wheat and maize. It links mines and the Central Corridor thus enabling transportation of iron ore for domestic markets.

Its inland terminal in Bellville connects freight rail services to the Port of Cape Town through a container rail shuttle service. Its extensive rail network which spans four provinces, provides a dynamic interconnection involving freight rail services, connecting branch lines, mainline links to major ports, other TFR corridors through the Reef, Ore line and Namibia. Operational depots include Upington, East London, Bloemfontein, Belville, Kimberley North, Kimberley South and Gqeberha. The Corridor is well positioned to support industry and other stakeholders’ initiatives for freight rail demand.
