NATIONAL RAIL MASTER PLAN RECAP In the commuter sphere high transport costs undermine take-home pay and condemn commuters to several hours a day spent on congested highways An effective commuter rail system would lower household costs, save time, reduce accidents and improve accessibility to income and services for low-income communities At current prices, full implementation of the Rail Master Plan would require private and public investment of close to two Trillion Rand over the next thirty years

The African Union Commission (AUC), in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of South Africa, is organising the 5th Ordinary Session of the Specialised Technical Committee on Transport and Energy. Convened under the theme, “The Africa We Build: Transport and Energy as Catalysts for Africa’s Prosperity,” the Session will bring together Ministers and experts to advance Africa’s infrastructure, transport, and energy agenda, serving as a high-level platform to review progress, address emerging challenges, and accelerate the implementation of key continental programmes, including the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). By strengthening policy direction, coordination, and investment, the Session will contribute to enhancing regional connectivity, advancing sustainable infrastructure, and supporting Africa’s transition to modern and resilient energy systems. 27–30 April 2026 | Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa
