By Chansa Mayani

Zambia Railways Limited has projected to generate about 30 Million United States dollars this year from transporting various goods on its rail line.

Company Managing Director CUTHBERT MALINDI says the firm can even do more working in partnership with the private sector.

Mr. MALINDI was speaking when the Parliamentary Committee on Transport works and Supply toured Zambia Railways infrastructure in Kitwe and Chambishi.

He said much of the revenue is from transportation of coal which amounts to 70 percent of its cargo.

And Chairperson of the parliamentary committee JOEL CHIBUYE is saddened at the levels of encroachment and vandalism of rail infrastructure.

Mr. CHIBUYE said as government projects to produce 3-million metric tonnes of copper per year by 2030, Zambia Railways will be a strategic asset to transport such cargo.
