Eswatini Railways: The Women Behind the Locomotives and Wagons

The Railways Africa team has spent the past few months exploring Eswatini Railways, tracking its progress, partnerships, and future ambitions. Just in time for Women’s Month, this Trackside feature brings you face-to-face with two exceptional women who are part of the team driving Eswatini Railways forward.

Meet Senanile Mayabane, Mechanical Engineer, and Simsile Mkhwanazi, Maintenance Engineer — two trailblazers overseeing Eswatini Railways’ rolling stock allocation, maintenance, and locomotive and wagon operations.

This episode offers insights into Eswatini Railways’ maintenance, refurbishment, and in-house capabilities. We explore the importance of rolling stock availability, local skills, spares, and celebrate women in rail engineering and operations.

With passion, precision, and purpose, Senanile and Simsile show what’s possible when technical expertise meets determination.
