Beitbridge Bulawayo Railway, a Grindrod unit, has partnered with Zimbabwe's National Railways and logistics firm Silvergill to move lithium concentrate by rail from Tsingshan Holding Group's Gwanda mine to the Port of Maputo, sending the first 1 000 t consignment. The roughly 1 000-km rail route runs from Gwanda through Beitbridge and Chicualacuala to Maputo, offering an alternative to costly, bottleneck-prone trucking as Zimbabwe's lithium exports to China grow.
Maputo volumes recovering, rail access deal targets 2027 startGrindrod expects improved second-half performance as weather-related disruptions ease and rail capacity recovers, with Maputo cargo volumes up 30% over five months to May, though coal terminal TCM volumes fell 8% owing to weather affecting magnetite sourcing before recovering from March. Grindrod has signed a rail access agreement with the Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager targeting 2027 operations on the North–East Corridor, moving 288 000 t initially, rising to 432 000 t a year, with a test train planned before year-end.
Reporting simplified, safety focus sharpenedCFO Fathima Ally says Grindrod will simplify segmental reporting from the 2026 financial year, aggregating former private equity, property and divested marine fuels businesses into the group segment. The ports and terminals segment posted a 38% Ebitda margin, within guidance, while a low lost-time injury rate of 0.2 was reported alongside a fatality at a Durban stevedoring business in June.
