Sanral dealing with ‘significant backlog’ in procurement
The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) says it is dealing with a “significant backlog in procurement”. There are a number of reasons for this, including a process between the agency and National Treasury to seek clarification on the 30% subcontracting clause, which took 18 months to complete, as well as the interpretation of the term ‘local’, which led to the stalling of 64 Sanral projects, caused by community disruptions, says the agency.
Presidential hopeful plans to shun debt-fueled Kenyan projects
Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto, the front-runner to become the nation’s next leader, will scale back spending on mega roads, rail and energy projects, rein in debt and pump more money into small business if he wins this year’s election. The 55-year-old former cabinet minister plans to implement a so-called Bottom-Up model, with the creation of a 200-billion-shilling ($1.8-billion) fund for small businesses to expand their production in industries ranging from housing and food-processing to manufacturing. It would be financed by diverting resources within the budget — estimated by the National Treasury to be about 3.3-trillion shillings in 2022-23 — from major infrastructure projects, Ruto said in an interview.

Global supply chain turmoil to persist into 2023 – SAAFF
Global pandemic-induced supply chain woes are set to continue for much of the year, including elevated demand, staffing shortages and global port congestion, says South African Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF) CEO Dr Juanita Maree. Indeed, moderation, or a return to normal – albeit a new, adjusted normal – will only occur around the Chinese New Year in 2023 (late January).

Air cargo, passenger demand slowed month-on-month in January
The International Air Transport Association has reported that the growth in both air cargo and air passenger traffic in January decelerated, in comparison to December last year. (Iata is the global representative body for the airline industry.) Regarding air cargo, globally, in January this was 2.7% up on the figure for January 2021. But December last year had recorded year-on-year growth of 9.3%. Air cargo capacity in January this year was 11.4% greater in year-on-year terms, but still 8.9% down on January 2019 (that is, pre-Covid-19 pandemic) capacity. Growth was being slowed by disruptions in supply chains and deteriorating economic conditions.
Cape Town International Airport reporting recovery in both passenger and air cargo traffic
Public-private partnership Cape Town Air Access has reported that Cape Town International Airport (CTIA) last month registered its highest number of international air passengers since the restoration of international air travel in October 2020. A total of 125 861 international passengers passed through the airport in February, both inbound and outbound. This figure represented 52% of the number of such passengers recorded in February 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic. This month was already promising to be even better. From March 1 to March 6, CTIA registered 31 445 international passengers (both ways), or 58% of the figure recorded during the same period in 2019.
