Which way Botswana - east or west?

At some point this year, the Government of Botswana and its neighbours will probably have to make a decision that will shape the economic future of the country and the region and result in by far the biggest infrastructure investment in Botswana's history.

The question the leadership will face is the direction of the new proposed railway to the coast - should it be to the Atlantic Ocean, i.e. the Trans-Kalahari route to Walvis Bay in Namibia, or to the Indian Ocean via Zimbabwe to Southern Mozambique?
