"The Gibela project is history in the making and our group of engineers is excited about making it happen"

"Rail is the future of transport – it is cleaner, more efficient and faster when moving people and goods"

"Of course the Gibela project will have its challenges, but challenges are there to be overcome, and we will be ready and waiting"

"We believe in the Gibela journey, and we realise the extent of our collective responsibility to pass on the skills we acquire abroad to colleagues at home"

"This is a project of national importance that will touch the lives of millions of South African rail passengers. I can't wait to get going"

"We are a motivated group of engineers and there is a synergy between our skills. Most importantly, the people who work here want to be here. I believe Gibela has great possibilities in the year ahead"
