Botswana Railways disposes of rail equipment

BR this week, invited tenders from reputable and experienced companies for disposal of eight non air conditioned passenger coaches, five locomotives, six livestock wagons, seven guard vans, in Mahalapye as well as one Rail car in Gaborone.

During the last parliamentary session, Assistant Minister of Agriculture, Oreeditse Molebatsi expressed shock that BR was contemplating selling the coaches to Mozambique and dismissed government's position about the problems, describing them as exaggerated. In his opinion the coaches could still be used in the next decade.
