Trucking down south

si unajua limit ya truck+trailer length Kenya?

The TAZARA railway was run down eons ago, much like our KR, sasa hua copper yapitia SA, great rds less hustle kwa border.

so hawapeleki TZ tena?

Wadau ni meffi, wanajiskia sana na hakuna infrastructure mashinani. Alafu ni wezi kuruka

Ata minerals za katanga province in DRC hupitia SA

They are trying to revive it, the chinese built and left it under the control of the governments TZ na Zambia. Years of looting imekuwa run down vi wazimu, stations along the track ni eyesore most hazina ata milango, vioo, stima etc.

Kuna places unapata carriages zilianguka and never retrieved, engineers wanasema hakuna pesa ya recovery. Some of them retired back in 1992 na Pension bado. Its quite sad!

Na kuna wewngine wanataka Chinese waachie wakenya to run SGR.

I agree they should run it for now and assist in setting up a non-corruptible system, I don’t agree with the way they treat their kenyan counterparts. None of us has seen the contract that was created and signed on our behalf so ni hot air tuna fan.:smiley:

Yaani Africa yote tuliangalia shaina, chieth.
Hivi karibuni tutalia

it was announced kitambo CCCC will run the rail through an appointed operator for 10 years then hand it over.

why use the long trucks to transport copper, naona its packed in small bundles, ama its too heavy for smaller trucks.

I guess ni cost of transportation, weight of the ingots, distance etc

Note how zimewelewa kwa axles peke yake. Must be quite heavy.
