Gauteng is preparing for a major expansion of the Gautrain rapid rail network, with plans to extend services to more communities across Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and the West Rand. The provincial government confirmed in February 2026 that the expansion process would resume this year, identifying Soweto, Mamelodi, Springs, Atteridgeville, Fourways and parts of the West Rand, with Sedibeng also forming part of the wider vision.

A sold-out Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will take place at FNB Stadium on Sunday, 26 April 2026, with major implications for the Betway Premiership title race. The match affects thousands of fans travelling across Gauteng, particularly as Orlando Pirates sit just one point ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns. With capacity crowds expected at Nasrec, authorities and transport operators are urging supporters to plan ahead, with Gautrain offering a discounted travel option and favourable weather conditions forecast for matchday.
