Plans to Upgrade Durban Port

By: Bongani Gina

Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says Transnet has made headway in making the Port of Durban more efficient and competitive.

This comes as the Transnet board and management eye a R100 billion renewal programme in a bid to elevate it to a world-class port.

Gordhan briefed media on Monday, where he was joined by Transnet chairperson Popo Molefe and Group CEO Portia Derby.

He has admitted the state-owned enterprise remains impacted by legacy issues but was optimistic of the future.
