THE AKAPELWA LECTURE
31st January 2013, Government Complex Conference Centre, Lusaka, Zambia
Outline
History & Current State of Affairs The Future for Zambia Railways Limited (ZR) 2013-2017 & Beyond Rehabilitation & Reconstruction of Existing Network Process Network Development Programme of the future Zambian Designed Motive Power & Rolling Stock Business Model For Sustainable Profitability & Growth Partnerships Floatation of Minority Stake to finance modernisation of the network Conclusions
Zambia Railways Limited operated and still operates a network of 1062 km of 1067mm gauge, single track of which 848km is the mainline and 214 km is on branch lines or spurs
In 2001, two years before the concession ZRL moved 1.98 million tonnes of traffic. Today that is 667,000 tonnes ZRL had and has a total of 37 locomotives (12 GT ,17 U20C and 8 U15C) and has a total of 2201 wagons of various types.
HISTORY
ZRL own passenger coaches have become dilapidated and out of service during the concession. Therefore using 28 passenger coaches belonging to Railway Systems of Zambia (RSZ).
Track Condition
Mainline Track The mainline extends from Victoria Falls Bridge in the South to Nkana Kitwe
The weight of rails on the mainline is 91lb per yard (606km) 90lb per yard (101km) 80lb per yard (141km), these need replacing with 91lb/yard
530 km of the mainline is on concrete sleepers & 318 km on wooden sleepers The depth of ballast on mainline varies between 50mm and 160mm instead of the required depth of 250mm to 300mm.
Track Condition
Wooden sleepers in EXTREME poor condition

Track Condition
Missing rail fastenings on consecutive sleepers on the mainline near Kabwe and Monze railway stations, making the railway line unsafe.
Track Condition
The railway line is overgrown with weeds in many sections, thus even maintenance of the line difficult to carry out.
Track Condition
If repairs were made, the plan was to interlace 1 concrete sleeper in 4 wooden sleepers and claim to have upgraded the railway line

Track & Station Condition NEXT STEPS

Track Rehabilitation is needed in many parts of the existing lines
New Second Track construction from Chingola to Livingstone is therefore needed to make the rail come to 21st Century standards New Stations are needed for human occupation To achieve these goals
Track & Station Condition NEXT STEPS

Track Rehabilitation is needed in many parts of the existing lines
New Second Track construction from Chingola to Livingstone is therefore needed to make the rail come to 21st Century standards New Stations are needed for human occupation To achieve this goal a new business model has been agreed with the management team.
The Vision
To have an effective and efficient railways network that is extremely profitable as a core business and that is the envy of the world, strategically connecting Zambia, its natural border countries and overseas.

The New ZR Business Model

BUSINESS OUTLINE CHARACTERISTICS It is proposed herein that the business meets the expectations of the Zambian people. Among these outcomes are: To reconstruct the entire business to be profitable, self sustaining and become a major contributor to the exchequer accounts; To become a major employer that creates apprenticeship jobs of around 10,000 during the reconstruction phases, and which reduce during full operation period to 3000 5000 pensionable jobs. In addition, there will be around 3,000 4,000 jobs to be created in the supply chain as ZR intends to source 75% - 80% of parts, components and services from businesses in Zambia. ZR vision on employment is to maximise human capacity for maximum productivity that will make it a flag ship of the Nation; To build a solid partnership with satellite businesses that will enhance further ZR core business and profit margins.

Freight Cost Centre

Current - Traditional business of a railway company that needs modernisation through intelligent marketing and management Traditional cargo such as copper ore and its products; coal; lime; maize; sugar; etc The future for ZR is to look for new cargo from none traditional routes: uranium ore; manganese ore; nickel; gold; rare metals; agro products; etc TARGET: To move from meagre tonnage to 1.5 million tonnes and beyond
Passenger Cost Centre

Traditional business of a railway company that needs modernisation through intelligent marketing and management
Traditional passenger business that has deteriorated in quality of service The future for ZR is to look for new and modern coaches that attract the business community, offer comfort and reliability for repeat business
Inter-Mine Cost Centre

Traditional business for Zambia Railways that generated a lot of revenue prior to the concession. During the concession, this business was killed completely
Rehabilitation and modernisation needed in many places to enable bring back the business from the roads to ZR Customers have invited us to offer them services

OFFER: Up to 3 million tonnes per year in delivering: Ore, Anodes, Concentrates, Lime and other products for production.
Engineering Design Cost Centre

This is a new cost centre developed to capitalise on the skills in Kabwe The aim is to create the biggest engineering and design technology centre that develops products from first principles: - Wagons - Coaches - Locomotives - spares and components for use in the assemblies Design utility machines and vehicles Carry out research in the Think Tank The future for Zambia Railways Limited (ZR)
Infrastructure Commercial Cost Centre

This is new cost centre that involves track and stations plus all the fixed assets The vision- To construct a second line track along the existing one To make all the dilapidated stations good and vibrant places by building Malls, Pubs, Restaurants & Cafs, shops; etc.. To electrify the mainline in Phase I construction Use of $120 million. Not enough so proposal to float 48% to private institutions as advised by the Attorney General
