RFA, SAAFF call for greater urgency on private sector’s participation in ports

Following the recent High Court judgment on the Durban Container Terminal (DCT) Pier 2, which halted the contract between Transnet and International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), the Southern African Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF) has highlighted the key role it believes the private sector could play in South Africa’s logistics network. While the court’s decision raises significant procedural issues, the SAAFF says it sees this as a crucial opportunity to revamp and fortify the frameworks for private sector investment and inter-port competition.
