About the company
Transnet is a State Owned Company (SOC), wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of South Africa and is the custodian of rail, ports and pipelines. We are responsible for enabling the competiveness, growth and development of the South African economy through delivering reliable freight transport and handling services to satisfy customer demand.
Transnet consists of:
Six core Operating Divisions:
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR)

Transnet Port Terminals (TPT)
Transnet Engineering (TE)
Transnet Pipelines (TPL)
Transnet Property (TP)
As a leading rail and logistics entity , we are expanding and transforming South Africa’s rail, port and pipeline infrastructure which will result in a significant increase in freight volumes, especially in commodities such as iron ore, coal and manganese. This will also lead to a significant modal shift from road to rail.
