ProposalDescription: 

Proposed operations for the Southern Side are within the same site within Farm Portion 1 area numbers (DWX 1469J and (DWX 1471J). In order to prepare the Southern Side for operations, there are several alternative options proposed for the establishment of the Southern Side as a Coal Stockpile Area and a Loading Area, under Victor Khanye Local Municipality, Mpumalanga Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed expansion will require development activities in order to maximise the operational capacity of the business. It is reported that the current lease area (Northern Side) has reached its maximise operation capacity in terms of stockpiling, safely recieving of trucks and loading trains. However, a challenge has bee encountered with meeting the demand as per contractual obligations. In order to meet their contractual obligations to Eskom (Tutuka Power Station), they require three (3) trains per day as opposed to the current operational two (2) trains per day servicing the Northern Side. The proposed expansion is seen to play a significant role to further supporting Transnet's Road-to-Rail initiative which is further linked to Eskom's Road-to-Rail strategy with the key objective being to divert a significant amount of tonnage from road to rail. The strategy also suggests moving into new technological developments within the industry by piloting the use of truck wagons with tyres that can travel on both road and railway track.
