Rail graduates ‘seeds’ for future industry growth

The graduation of 85 employees of State-owned logistics company Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) in rail sciences planted the seeds for future rail industry growth and formed an integral part of TFR’s R201-billion rail infrastructure roll-out plans, Transnet CEO Brian Molefe said at the graduation ceremony at the TFR Esselen Park campus, in October. The employees, largely managers within the organisation, obtained BSc degrees in railway operations management, or higher education certificates or diplomas from the Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), as TFR intensified training to improve its service.
