Port efficiency improves as private operators and reforms unlock investment: Godongwana
Cape Times
|November 17, 2025
MINISTER of Finance Enoch Godongwana has said that South Africa's ports have seen significant efficiency gains in recent years.
This comes as vessel waiting times are down 75%, while container handling has become faster, a trend confirmed by industry experts.
Gondongwana last week noted that freight movement within the country had faced serious challenges, including congestion caused by a shift from rail to road transport
"This led to an overall decline in the volume of goods and exports transited. Reforms in freight logistics are gaining speed. Eleven private train operators now have slots on 41 routes across six corridors," he said.
"Port efficiency is improving, with vessel waiting times down 75%, while container handling is faster."
