As we observe Disability Rights Awareness Month from 3 November to 3 December, we are reminded that building an inclusive society begins with understanding, respect and challenging misconceptions about disability.

Myths and stereotypes about persons with disabilities can reinforce stigma, create unnecessary barriers and limit opportunities for inclusion. It is therefore important that we challenge these misconceptions and replace them with facts, awareness and understanding.

Let us take this month as an opportunity to reflect on our own perceptions, challenge assumptions and actively practise inclusion in our workplaces, communities and everyday interactions.

Together, we can build a society where everyone is respected, valued, empowered and given the opportunity to thrive.

| Nearly 50,000 employees. One shared purpose.

Throughout Transport Month, we've highlighted the numbers behind the movement. But behind every train journey, vessel operation, port activity and pipeline delivery are the people who make it happen.

From frontline operations to technical specialists and support teams, their expertise, dedication and commitment keep South Africa moving every day.

As we conclude Transport Month 2026, we celebrate not only the achievements reflected in the numbers, but the people behind them.

Thank you to every Transnet employee for helping move economies and shape a stronger future.

When Transnet Works, South Africa Thrives.

[Listen] In this latest episode of Lentswe, we sit down with Clarence King, Project Manager and lead of the Tippler 3 Project in Saldanha, to unpack one of Transnet’s most critical infrastructure projects and its role in advancing operational performance and growth.

This insightful conversation explores the project's scope, key milestones achieved to date, and the impact Tippler 3 is expected to have on capacity, efficiency, and operations. Clarence provides a firsthand account of the progress being made, the challenges overcome, and the significance of delivering strategic projects that strengthen South Africa’s freight logistics network.

As we reflect on Transport Month, this episode serves as a powerful proof point of the work underway across Transnet to modernise infrastructure, unlock capacity, and deliver on strategic projects that contribute to long-term growth and operational excellence.

Today, Transnet participated in the Frank Dialogue, which explored the state of South Africa’s transport industry, with a focus on infrastructure, investment and public-private partnerships.

Transnet Group Chief Operating Officer, Solly Letsoalo, joined a panel discussion on freight and logistics, engaging with the audience on operational performance, current terminal challenges and the interventions underway to address them, as well as Transnet’s plans to strengthen performance into the future.

Earlier, the Minister of Transport Barbara Creecy highlighted the critical role of rail in growing the South African economy and emphasised the importance of rail reform in ushering in a new era for the industry. Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager is central to this reform, with rail plans available for public comment to provide prospective investors with greater visibility of future opportunities.

The Minister also addressed the operational challenges at Durban Gateway Terminal (DGT), noting that she, and the Transnet leadership, visited the terminal to assess the situation. The focus remains on stabilising operations following delays associated with the ICT system and ensuring that the necessary interventions are implemented to improve performance.

The day’s discussions reinforced the importance of collaboration, investment and meaningful public-private partnerships in building a more efficient, resilient and competitive transport and logistics sector that supports South Africa’s economic growth.
