Transport unions, are rejecting national government’s plans to involve the private sector in South Africa’s port and rail industries.
The National Transport Department recently launched an online Request for Information to boost trade and investment.
The country’s port and rail infrastructure faces major challenges, including poor performance, vandalism and under investment.
These, all impact trade and economic growth.
Untu and Satawu describe this move as plans to privatise state-owned companies.
Untu’s Atenkosi Plaatjie, says the same is happening at Transnet Freight Rail…
Satawu’s Amanda Tshemese says they’ll approach the courts if government pursues this..
