Abstract:The historical development of rail transport in South Africa, the highly inadequate transport situation in Africa and South Africa's present strength in terms of railways, harbours and airways, combine to make this transport system a highly strategic deterrent to political isolation and a key to relations with Africa in transport as well as other fields. In view of suspicions among African states about South Africa's so-called 'imperialistic' motives, and its own constitutional mandate to operate on business principles, the South African Railway has assumed the following basis for cooperation: 1) Aid is only offered when asked for. 2) It is offered at cost, i.e. on business principles. 3) It is given in such a way as to help the other country to help itself. The article discusses relations with Zambia, Swaziland and Mozambique against this background. Bronnelys.
