Community and youth
development initiatives
We believe the future of rail depends on the future of Africa’s youth. Traxtion is actively involved in school upliftment projects, Mandela Day initiatives and career expos that introduce learners to the opportunities within rail. From renovating classrooms to donating equipment and creating safe learning environments, we work to unlock possibilities in the places we serve.
Our commitment to communities goes beyond operations. We focus on creating long-term social impact by investing in sustainability, skills development and youth programmes. Every initiative is shaped by real local needs and delivered in partnership with organisations that share our values.

Culture
that keeps
us on track
At Traxtion, our culture is defined by safety, responsibility, respect and innovation. We empower people to take ownership of their work and grow their skills. Whether in the field or behind the scenes, every role contributes to something bigger. This is a place where purpose drives performance and everyone has the chance to make an impact.
Talent
development stories
We don’t just develop skills. We build careers. Our TETA-accredited training centre at the Rosslyn Rail Services Hub offers a rigorous three-year programme that leads to a Red Seal trade qualification. Many of our trainees go on to join the Traxtion team, becoming the technical backbone of rail operations across Africa.
“I started my journey at Traxtion as a security officer, with no prior experience in locomotives. However, working in the workshop sparked a growing interest in the field. Now, I’m part of the team, and every day presents new learning opportunities in the rail industry. My goal is simple: absorb as much knowledge as possible and become a valuable asset to the team.”
– Thapelo Thobane
