Traxtion has secured an $86 million investment in a significant milestone for South Africa's rail sector, supporting the company's long-term strategy to help revitalise rail infrastructure and logistics capacity across the country and the broader region.

The funding brings together STANLIB Infrastructure Investments, Standard Bank and Harith InfraCo, and closes the remaining funding requirements associated with Traxtion's previously announced R3.4 billion rolling stock investment programme, which includes the acquisition of 46 locomotives and 920 wagons.

"This additional investment clearly demonstrates the confidence we have long held in the future of rail and is yet another step toward unlocking rail's full potential as a catalyst for growth," said James Holley, CEO of Traxtion.

Commenting on behalf of InfraCo, Chairman Frans Baleni said: "Investments that strengthen rail efficiency and expand private-sector participation have the potential to unlock meaningful benefits for competitiveness, trade, job creation and broader socio-economic development over time."

Harith Chief Investment Officer Emile du Toit and MD: Growth Strategy & Stakeholder Management Chebet Chikumbu joined partners and stakeholders at today's signing ceremony to mark this important step towards building a more efficient and resilient rail network for the region.

As part of Youth Month in South Africa, Harith is shining the spotlight on young professionals across the business and the different roles supporting infrastructure investment activities across African markets.

Nkanyiso Nyawose, a 30-year-old Investment Analyst at Harith, works across valuations, reporting and transactions linked to infrastructure investments on the continent.

Reflecting on his journey at Harith so far, Nkanyiso says the opportunity to work across different transactions and African markets has been one of the most rewarding parts of his role.

“Even though the work can be demanding, there’s always a bigger picture. The investments we make have a real impact on economies and communities across the continent.”

Nkanyiso’s role forms part of the financial and analytical work supporting Harith’s infrastructure investment activities across African markets.

Every day, thousands of people and goods move across borders throughout Africa, supporting trade, travel, business and regional connection.

As Southern Africa’s busiest land crossing, the Beitbridge Border Post plays an important role in linking South Africa and Zimbabwe, while supporting one of the region’s key trade and logistics corridors.

Harith General Partners is invested in ZimBorders, the private concessionaire responsible for the modernisation and operation of the Zimbabwean side of the border under a long-term public-private partnership model.

As Africa Month is marked across the continent, the movement of people, goods and ideas continues to highlight the importance of infrastructure in supporting connectivity, trade and long-term economic development.

Harith General Partners manages approximately USD 3 billion in assets across energy, transport, connectivity and the infrastructure that drives long-term economic development across Africa.

Our investments are not concentrated in a single market or sector. They are spread deliberately across emerging markets on the continent, reflecting a conviction that Africa’s growth story is regional, interconnected and infrastructure-led.

From power generation to transport corridors, each investment in the Harith portfolio represents a considered allocation of long-term capital into sectors that move economies forward and keep them moving.

That footprint continues to grow. Learn more: https://buff.ly/pCPqvYr

Infrastructure is shaping Africa’s growth story in a very real way.

It determines where businesses can operate, how markets connect, and how efficiently economies can grow.

From energy that keeps industries running, to transport that moves goods, and digital networks that connect people and markets, these systems form the foundation of economic activity.

At Harith General Partners, the focus is on backing infrastructure that works over time, where bankability, long-term demand and regulatory clarity come together to support sustainable growth.

Across Africa’s major cities, fibre deployment is accelerating as operators compete to secure high-density urban corridors ahead of the next wave of digital demand.

In South Africa, this trend is reflected through platforms such as Maziv, which houses assets including Vumatel and Dark Fibre Africa. Maziv operates within CIVH, which forms part of the Harith General Partners investment portfolio in digital infrastructure.

Recent analysis shows that metropolitan fibre networks are expanding rapidly across key markets, supported by increasing data consumption, cloud adoption and the growth of digital services. In this environment, fibre is becoming a long-term strategic asset underpinning urban economic activity.

Kenya has made a strong case for increased investment in cleaner energy, positioning itself as a market where large-scale generation projects can be developed through structured public and private sector collaboration.

At the recent Powering Africa Summit, the country highlighted how its energy market has evolved to support private investment, with clear separation across generation, transmission, distribution and regulation, alongside mechanisms such as cost-reflective tariffs and long-term power purchase agreements.

This approach has enabled the development of major projects such as Lake Turkana Wind Power, a 310MW facility that supplies a meaningful share of Kenya’s national grid under a long-term power purchase agreement, and forms part of the Harith General Partners investment portfolio. Harith also has exposure to Kenya’s energy sector through assets such as Rabai Power, a 90MW thermal plant in Mombasa.

As markets across Africa continue to strengthen policy and regulatory frameworks, structured energy systems such as Kenya’s are increasingly shaping how capital is deployed into large-scale infrastructure.
