Just annoucing that there will be a high speed train linking between Johannesburg, Pretoria, Airport and other places (such as sandton, rosebank, midrand, centurian, etc - in South Africa) to be built for 2003.

More info (for those train fans) on http://www.gautrain.co.za/.

They have announced that the trains would travel at an average of at least 160km/h, with 11km in tunnels under the city and 5km on elevated structures, with a total length of at least +/- 80km.

Getting to places would take about 15 minutes instead of 50 minutes by car.
