Transnet Group Chief Operating Officer (GCOO), Solly Letsoalo, today engaged business and government leaders at the KwaZulu-Natal Infrastructure Connect Conference, hosted by Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking.

Participating in a fireside conversation titled The Future of Logistics in Africa's Growth Story, Letsoalo outlined the interventions Transnet has implemented to support operational recovery and strengthen its role in driving South Africa's economy.

Emphasising KwaZulu-Natal's strategic importance to Transnet's operations, particularly in the ports and maritime sector, Letsoalo said the province presents significant growth opportunities. He highlighted the Ports of Durban and Richards Bay as critical gateways connecting South Africa to regional markets across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

The GCOO noted that Transnet is transitioning from a successful recovery phase, which stabilised rail volumes and strengthened port performance, to a growth-focused phase aimed at expanding capacity, improving efficiency and enabling economic development.

Addressing misconceptions around rail reform, Letsoalo said initiatives such as the introduction of Train Operating Companies (TOCs) are designed to complement, not replace, the role of the state.

"The public sector remains responsible for strategic direction and retains ownership of the infrastructure, while the private sector brings investment and specialist expertise to help accelerate performance and growth," he said.

The GCOO's remarks were well received by delegates, who acknowledged the improvements achieved across Transnet's operations.

🚧 Women Moving the Economy
As we conclude our Women's Month series, we shine the spotlight on Annalien Van Rooyen, a Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager Engineer, whose expertise helps keep South Africa's rail network strong, safe, and sustainable.

From maintaining critical rail infrastructure to driving engineering excellence, Annalien plays a pivotal role in enabling the efficient movement of freight across the country. Her work ensures that the rail corridors connecting mines, ports, industries, and communities remain operational, supporting economic growth and national development.

As we close this chapter, we honour the countless women across Transnet and the logistics sector who keep South Africa moving and prove that when women lead, industries thrive and economies grow.

Today, Transnet Corporate Centre celebrated Women’s Month at Esselen Park in Kempton Park under the theme “Empowered Women, Empowered Nation”, recognising the strength, resilience and invaluable contribution of women across our organisation and society.

The day provided an opportunity for women to connect, engage in meaningful conversations and focus on issues that support both their personal and professional wellbeing. The programme included presentations and discussions on mental health and wellness, safety in the workplace, and other important aspects of creating a healthy, safe and supportive working environment.

As we empower women to thrive, we are reminded that true empowerment goes beyond celebrating achievements. It also means creating an environment where women feel supported, valued and equipped with the resources they need to succeed.

Held during Women’s Month, the AGM provided an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of the women of 1956 and the importance of continuing to challenge barriers, expand opportunities and create spaces where women can thrive.

Adv Phillips commended WOMESA South Africa for its continued commitment to transformation, skills development, mentorship and leadership, highlighting the growing contribution of women across the maritime value chain, from marine pilots and engineers to port managers, vessel traffic controllers, harbour masters and executives.

As Transnet advances its ( ) strategy, transformation and inclusion remain central to building a stronger, more competitive organisation and contributing to a more inclusive South African economy.

To the women shaping the maritime sector and the young women considering careers in maritime, logistics, engineering, transport and technology, Adv Phillips’ message was clear: “Your future is not defined by the barriers that exist today, but by your potential, determination and willingness to pursue your ambitions.”
