“Delivering on our commitment to you”

Transnet is transforming into a focused freight transport and logistics company comprising its ports, rail and pipeline assets. This refocus is designed to ensure that the company delivers a reliable, consistent, safe and integrated freight service to all its customers; an acceptable rate of return to its shareholder; and is a choice and sustainable employer.

As a result of this transformation, all those assets or businesses which do not form part or support that strategy of building a world-class freight transport and logistics company are being disposed of either by selling them to the private sector or are being transferred back to the South African government.

Transnet is investing R78 billion on revitalizing and extending its infrastructure (widening and deepening ports; building a new pipeline and buying hundreds of new locomotives) and addressing the maintenance backlog, especially at Transnet Freight Rail, over the next five years.

Transnet is devoted to transparency, integrity and efficiency. The new Transnet is made up of the following operating divisions:

• Transnet Freight Rail (formerly Spoornet – the freight rail division)
• Transnet Rail Engineering (formerly Transwerk - the rolling stock maintenance business)
• Transnet National Ports Authority (formerly the NPA - fulfils the landlord function for South Africa’s port system)
• Transnet Port Terminals (formerly SAPO - managing port and cargo terminal operations in the nation’s leading ports), and
• Transnet Pipelines (formerly Petronet - the fuel and gas pipeline business, pumps and manages the storage of petroleum and gas products through its network of high-pressure, long distance pipelines)

A growing Transnet is an integral part of the South African economy and an important contributor to the 6% plus GDP target envisaged in AsgiSA.

For the future, it is our intention to strengthen our partnerships to derive greater value from our freight logistics system.

Simply, we are bullish about the Company and confident that it is growing, and that it is poised for further growth in the coming years.
