Trans Kalahari Corridor transformation underway

TKC is a corridor expected to run from Mmamabula through six coal producing regions in Botswana to Walvis Bay in Namibia. The project, which has a capital cost in the region of $12 billion to $15 billion, is anticipated to take seven to 10-years to be completed.

Botswana and Namibia signed a MoU on the Trans Kalahari Road in 2010. The following year, a pre-feasibility study for the project was completed and the government decided to proceed with the project. Two years ago, a bilateral agreement on the project was signed.
