Last month, the government of Zambia awarded a 20-year freight-rail service concession to Railway Systems of Zambia Ltd. (RSZ), a New Limpopo Bridge Projects Investments Ltd.-led consortium that includes Spoornet division Transnet as a major shareholder.
For $253 million over 20 years, RSZ receives exclusive rights to provide freight service on the former Zambia Railways Ltd. network. Zambia also granted the consortium a seven-year concession to provide passenger-rail service between Livingstone and Kitwe.
RSZ plans to spend $40 million during the next five years to improve and upgrade the railroad's infrastructure and rolling stock.
CPCS Transcom Ltd. served as a transaction advisor, assisting the Zambia Privatization Agency with the concession, which is part of the Zambia Railways Restructuring Project.
