The African Development Bank said Thursday it had approved a $1 billion loan to South Africa’s state-owned rail and ports company, Transnet.
The 25-year loan was wholly guaranteed by the South African government and will help finance the first phase of a $8.1 billion investment plan for Transnet to improve the country’s ailing rail and port infrastructure, the bank said.
