KEETMANSHOOP <\/strong>– A luxury Rovos Rail passenger train derailed in southern Namibia early Sunday morning (1 March), killing two crew members when a bridge collapsed beneath the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The southbound train from Windhoek was involved in the accident at 04:45 near Naute, approximately 285 kilometres short of Ariamsvlei and the South African border, according to a statement from Rovos Rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause was identified as a wash-away of the last span of a bridge, resulting in the loss of two locomotives and two utility coaches. The train’s automatic brake systems engaged to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two crew members killed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rovos Rail confirmed with “profound sadness” the deaths of a Rovos driver and a TransNamib pilot in the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, no passengers or other Rovos Rail staff members sustained injuries in the derailment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency response and passenger care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Desmond van Jaarsveld, CEO of TransNamib, Namibia’s national rail operator, confirmed the emergency response plan was activated immediately following the accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our priority was and remains the safety and well-being of all employees and passengers. Urgent medical care was provided to all affected, and survivors are being supported,” Van Jaarsveld said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rovos Rail has arranged buses to transport passengers to Upington, from where they will be flown to Cape Town. Tiffany Vos, CEO of Rovos Rail, will personally meet the passengers upon arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation underway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Van Jaarsveld said a full investigation into the cause of the accident is currently underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are cooperating fully with the authorities and once finalised, key stakeholders will be informed and appropriate measures will be implemented to prevent any recurrence,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/c21d4934990e0eb8e32caf97f9d74a63","name":"Carina Roux","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8636e90a324d431688c0ee15759c4edba6fdaf5b550dc113b26509a5898e5e50?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8636e90a324d431688c0ee15759c4edba6fdaf5b550dc113b26509a5898e5e50?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8636e90a324d431688c0ee15759c4edba6fdaf5b550dc113b26509a5898e5e50?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Carina Roux"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/carina-roux\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/642760099_1380439377460522_2463222368057785476_n.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":83012,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/reviving-steam-trains-a-rail-tourism-opportunity-in-northern-cape\/","url_meta":{"origin":297300,"position":0},"title":"Reviving steam trains: A rail tourism opportunity in Northern Cape","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"11 May 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"SteamNet 2000 volunteers in Kimberley restore steam locomotives, promoting rail tourism in the Northern Cape.
