Alan Waller, the CEO of Richards Bay Coal Terminal, said the private sector was finding much joy in working with Transnet, which is now willing to receive external assistance to fix the logistics crisis that has undermined South Africa’s export activity, economy and public finances.
For at least five days (from 14 January to 18 January), Transnet’s coal export line to Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, which connects to South Africa’s main coal export terminal, was closed and out of service.
