Citrus growers call on DPE to urgently invest in rail for future growth
Industry organisation the Citrus Growers' Association of Southern Africa (CGA) has called on Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan to announce a turnaround to fix the current freight rail network crisis, which is threatening the future growth of the citrus growing sector, which sustains 130 000 jobs and generates R30-billion in export revenue each year. Currently, large parts of the rail network are inoperable because of cable theft, a shortage of locomotives and rolling stock.
