THE new 317km rail link between Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and Beitbridge, South Africa, was opened officially by Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe last month. The line has been built by Beitbridge Bulawayo Railway (BBR), a consortium comprising mainly South African investors, which has a 30-year build, operate, and transfer concession from the Zimbabwean government for the $US 85 million project.

Spoornet, South Africa, operates the services on the line, while National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) supplies the staff. BBR, which is based in Zimbabwe, is responsible for marketing the services.
