State-owned freight logistics group Transnet says that is has concluded the evaluation of applications received for sale of rail slots on the Container and Cape corridors, following the initiation of a process on April 1 whereby bids were invited from the private sector for an initial 16 slots. Despite criticism of the design of the slot sales, especially the fact that they would be valid for only two years, Transnet confirmed that it did receive bids by the August 31. However, it did not disclose the number of submissions, nor the identities of the bidders. In a statement issued on November 23, Transnet reported that governance activities were now under way following the completion of the bid-evaluation phase, including the recommendation and final approval of the evaluation outcome for both the Container Corridor (Gauteng to Durban) and the Cape Corridor (Gauteng to East London). “Once the final approval of the outcome has been granted, it will be communicated accordingly,” Transnet said, again without disclosing the number of bids that were evaluated. No specific date was provided for the announcement of preferred bidders, nor was a timeframe provided for how long such bidders would have to achieve financial close. Transnet is, however, under pressure to open up its network to third-party operators owing to the underperformance of Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), particularly on the Container Corridor, and the fact that the reform has been prioritised for implementation under Operation Vulindlela. The 714-km Container Corridor links the Port of Durban to Gauteng both through Transnet's inland terminals at City Deep, Kascon, Pretcon and Kaalfontein, and several accredited private sidings. Transnet again confirmed that the slot-sale system would operate by means of temporary occupation of sections of the network to enable end-to-end passage of a train, TFR retaining ownership of the network. “The sale of these slots to third-party operators expands the access that Transnet already grants to PRASA, approved Branch Line Operators, the luxury hospitality services provided by Rovos Rail and the Blue Train and Steam Train Operators to the rail network. “In terms of this phase of the project, third party slot access will be valid for a two-year period with a contracting period of 24 months in terms of which the parties will enter into a Third-Party Access Agreement for the period.” Transnet said the first phase will also provide key insights as inputs to the development of a robust policy implementation framework.

Since pre-history, both hunters and fighters have relied upon camouflage and deception to both improve their chances of survival and success in attacking their enemy.  Caesar used ships with blue sails to disguise his reconnaissance of Britain, whilst a Chinese army used thousands of bonfires to suggest to their opponents that a vast army was deserting and becoming smaller every day.  Right up to modern days camouflage and deception have been essential.  During the Boer War, the guerrilla fighters lay under the soil with breathing reeds to escape British forces: in World War I, British snipers hid in hollowed out trees in No Man's Land to fire on German positions.Then there were the great deceptions, the dummy airfields and fake tanks prior to Normandy landings in 1944.  Of course, sometimes neither deception nor camouflage work: Western intelligence quickly saw through Putin's ruse in invading Ukraine.  Yet there will always be a soldier lying with foliage covering his combat fatigues and there will always be strategists devising methods of throwing the enemy off the scent.  Today, intelligent camouflage shields can replicate the surroundings and render positions invisible.  And cyber space has created a sphere of disinformation and further confusion.  It is a world constructed by layer upon layer of deception from the front line to the war room.It has roots in the past and will extend into the future.So It GoesTom Assheton & James JacksonReading Reference:Macbeth by William Shakespeare read by David Hartley--------------------------------PROMOTION - 3 cabins left:from Cazenove & Loyd  +44 (0)207 384 2332 or info@cazloyd.comSOUTH AFRICA IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SIR WINSTON CHURCHILLWe invite you to join us on an exciting journey through South Africa with Sir Nicholas Soames, the grandson of Sir Winston Churchill. Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell, Co-Owner + Director of cazenove+loyd, has hand-designed an extraordinary journey with Rovos Rail, which will take one of the world's most opulent trains deep into the heartlands of the Boer War.The trip will trace Sir Winston Churchill's footsteps during the war, from his dramatic capture by the Boers to his subsequent escape via freight train. Joining you on this journey will be Sir Winston Churchill's grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames, a former British Member of Parliament and fantastic storyteller, who will regale you with tales of his grandfather and bring KwaZulu-Natal's Boer battlefields to life. “I feel very strongly that much of my grandfather's life was shaped by his time in South Africa, in particular when he was captured by the Boers and subsequently made his escape,” says Sir Nicholas Soames. “So much of who he was and who he was to become came through at this moment of great danger and personal desperation. It will be a privilege to lead this trip next September, travelling by train to visit many of the most important battlefields of the Boer War. I believe that much of Churchill's audacity and courage – and his drive and ambition – comes to light in his experiences as a young man in Africa. These characteristics are what made him into the national hero that he later became.”This phenomenal opportunity promises to be fascinating, entertaining and full of learning, with the luxury of returning to one of the world's most stunning trains every evening.--------------------------------See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

Er gilt als prestigeträchtigster Luxus-Zug der Welt: der Rovos Rail. Er fährt zwischen Kapstadt, den Victoria-Fällen, dem Kruger Nationalpark, oder Walvis Bay in Namibia. Genau deshalb heißt der Zug "The Pride of Africa".

Er ist gerade mal 30 Jahre alt, aber er gilt als Legende Südafrikas und als prestigeträchtigster Luxus-Zug der Welt: Rovos Rail. Er fährt zwischen Kapstadt, Pretoria, den Victoria-Fällen, dem Krüger Nationalpark und bis nach Tansania oder Namibia. Vielversprechend nennt er sich den Stolz Afrikas. Stimmt das? Unsere Korrespondentin Jana Genth hat den Zug auf der 1600 Kilometer langen Strecke zwischen Pretoria und Kapstadt getestet.

Golfresepodden åker tåg genom Sydafrika. Avsnittet handlar om Rovos Rail “The most luxurious train experience in the world”. Det blir inte mindre än fem golfbanebesök och förutom Sydafrika så besöker vi även Swaziland. Det blir en hel del golf men också om safari, engelska jordgubbsodlare, historiska slagfält, giraffer på fairway och egenkomponerade omeletter. Ni får också veta vad bobotie och biltong är för något och lite om det inhemska vinet pinotage.

MultimediaLIVE — Every dreamer loves a train. Maybe it's the sheer moxie they represent as they curl around mountains and cut across plains; maybe it's the human progress they signify. For the curious, their slow pace and on-board freedom of movement encourage strangers to mingle and connections to spark. For the nostalgic, they hark back to travel's Golden Age, when the likes of the legendary Orient-Express carried society's ritziest across continents under clouds of luxury, exoticism and entitlement. Certainly, in an age of instantaneous everything, of night flights and sleeping pills and waking up on runways, there can be no better way for a romance-seeking traveller to relive a time when the journey was the thing than to go by rail. And if by rail, then what better travelling companions than fine dining, exemplary service and a multitude of comforts dressed up in a coat of bygone charm? In this episode, Sunday Times Travel editor Paul Ash speaks to Rohan Vos father of the renowned luxury Rovos Rail. Rovos Rail
