Delivering the keynote address at today’s signing ceremony in Saldanha Bay, @follow_transnet Group Chief Operating Officer Solly Letsoalo emphasised the broader significance of the agreement:
“The lease agreement between TNPA and Freeport Saldanha extends far beyond the boundaries of a land transaction. This agreement is about unlocking opportunity. It is about strengthening South Africa's logistics network and industrial development and, most importantly, advancing inclusive economic growth through strategic partnerships and infrastructure-led development”.
Aligned with Transnet's Reinvent for Growth strategy, the agreement reflects the organisation's focus on strengthening infrastructure, improving operational performance and collaborating with industry partners to unlock capacity across the logistics network.
