As part of its renewed turnaround strategy for the National Railways of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwean government is seeking partnerships with the private sector and calling in its debts.
State-owned newspaper, The Herald, reports that debtors owe more than $30 million to the parastatal.
Transport and infrastructural development minister, Dr Joram Gumbo, was quoted by the daily newspaper as saying that NRZ was owed a lot of money by both foreign and local debtors.
The railway operator was dogged by serious problems that included low capacity, a dwindling customer base and obsolete equipment, he said.
