GIBELA RAIL

Gibela is a black economic empowerment (BEE) rail transport consortium comprising French rail company, Alstom (70%) and Ubumbano Rail (30%). It was established in 2013, initially as a ring-fenced company for the execution of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa's (Prasa) rolling-stock fleet-renewal programme... Gibela is committed to the highest standards of ethical business practices and we believe in an environment of open and honest dialogue that encourages employees to approach their manager or supervisor should they suspect violations of company standards and policies... Gibela is passionate about human capital and is heavily invested in skills development and technology transfer in the building of trains for the modern era. We provide an employee-based value proposition that enables our staff to advance their technical skills in world-class train design and manufacturing.
