What is the connection between the railroad and rivers in South Africa? Railroads were built to be parallel to the rivers. The railroads were built by moving supplies inland by riverboats. Like the rivers, South Africa’s train networks are small and seasonal. Because the rivers are so small, people must travel by train.

Because the rivers are so small, people must travel by train.

Explanation:

South Africa's rivers are quite seasonal to such a point that in rainy season the rivers seem like great rivers with quite a number of tributaries but as soon as the dry season comes, the rivers became so small that a significant portion of them devolve into mud pools.

For this reason, travel and exploration was limited in South Africa as river transport was a convenient way to do both. The country therefore was forced to rely on trains to foster inland exploration and travel.

I have attached the recommended passage for the question.
