Rail transport in South Africa

Rail transport in South Africa is an important element of the country's transport infrastructure. All major cities are connected by rail, and South Africa's railway system was once the most highly developed in Africa. However, lack of proper maintenance, vandalism, corruption and rail infrastructure theft have all but destroyed the performance of the railway system in recent decades. The South African rail industry is publicly owned.
