Moçâmedes Railway Resumes Operations After Flood-Induced Losses
The Moçâmedes Railway (CFM) incurred a loss of approximately 160 million Kwanzas (about $190,704) during a 31-day suspension of operations on the Huíla/Cuando Cubango section due to severe rains that washed away two hydraulic crossings. The flooding on February 3rd and 4th significantly damaged the railway infrastructure, destroying the hydraulic passages between the towns of Chanja and Olivença. Repairs, which took a month to complete, cost the public company based in Lubango around 100 million
