Competition, collaboration needed for an efficient logistics network in South Africa A panel of experts discuss the current state of South Africa’s transport and rail systems and what needs to be done to improve the country’s logistics performance.
Competition is important to create efficiencies in the logistics and transport network, but collaboration is similarly necessary to ensure that all the public and private sector role-players can fulfill their roles in the recovery and improvement of South Africa’s underperforming logistics systems.

Government’s new plan to shift cargo from roads back to rail
Government is seeking to finalise a plan aimed at improving its rail network and move cargo away from its overburdened roads. While the economy loses a billion rand per day to its logistics crises, government has said an urgent turnaround is needed to improve its 31 000km locomotive network as more and more cargo moves from rail to trucks. The Department of Transport hosted a discussion with industry stakeholders regarding the Freight Road to Rail Migration Plan on Thursday – the latest development in the wake of President Cyril Ramaphosa forming the National Logistics Crisis Committee last year. Transnet, the South African National Roads Agency and private sector companies were all in attendance. The Freight Road to Rail Migration Plan is part of government’s strategies to improve the country’s ongoing logistics crises. In October last year, the government unveiled its Freight Logistics Roadmap to improve the ports and rail networks and encourage private sector participation, and Cabinet has since approved the plan. The DoT’s deputy director-general, Rirhandzu Mashava, said operational deficiencies and underinvestment in railway infrastructure mean that South Africa’s railway has been unable to handle increasing cargo movement demand, resulting in expensive transport costs for businesses.
