According to Caminhos de ferro de Moçamedes (CFM) chairman Daniel Paxe, quoted by the Angolan news agency Angop, work may start during 2013 on constructing a new railway to link with the TransNamib system in Namibia. The line will run more than 300km southwards from Tchamutete in Huila province to the border with Namibia at Oshikango – terminus of the new Northern Line from Tsumeb. Tchamutete is the endpoint of a branch from Dongo junction, 500km from the Atlantic port Namibe on the CFM main-line.
