A Railway Line that Goes Nowhere and Lions in Our Midst

The second, the Gaborone Game Reserve, is entirely new.  The bridge, in my view, one of the greatest of the many projects the country has undertaken since Independence, does however puzzle me no end. Take the Telegraph’s report (August 23) which quotes the Daewoo Company Bridge consultant, Joseph Nyirenda, as explaining that ‘the bridge will also have a rail track between two road traffic lanes, which with the road will ‘enhance transportation of cargo and passenger traffic along the North-South corridor... and the port of Durban.’

Now, I have previously raised concerns about both the road and the railway without obtaining a hoped for explanation.
