The proposal is with the Ministry of Transport, and a meeting has been held between investors and NRZ. The investors are set to undertake a new feasibility study for this connection, even though a previous study funded by the European Union had been completed.<\/p>\n<p>The potential new investors want to check the feasibility of taking the railway line through Chirundu. It is envisioned that the line will be rehabilitated from Lion\u2019s Den, all the way through Harare to Forbes Border Post to link up with Machipanda so that all the freight coming in from Zambia and DRC can be moved. Hopefully, progress will be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>An update on the Hwange-Chikwalakwala corridor, which goes all the way to Maputo, was also provided, in line with the intended work on the line from Lion\u2019s Den to Kafue as well as Forbes Border Post.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the steel plant coming on board at Manhize, where millions of tonnes of coking coal, limestone and the finished product need to be transported from Hwange to Manhize and Manhize to Beira, there is urgency to get the NRZ up and running again. According to the notes, Dinson is a potential partner, among others who might come on board to fund the construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column
