The freight association's CEO Gavin Kelly says Transnet needs to keep this up.

 

"Ensuring that freight moves efficiently through our ports and that the volumes grow will mean that our ports will attract shipping and that we will continue moving freight through our country, which has a spin-off in terms of revenue and jobs."
