「Transnet personnel changes paying off
Coal export volumes railed to #RichardsBay were up more than 10% in the December quarter, and port backlogs are declining.
Then #PublicEnterprises Minister Pravin #Gordhan took a meat cleaver to the board.
In came #MineralsCouncil vice-president Andile #Sangqu as chair of #Transnet in July 2023, giving a voice to the company’s largest customer, the mining sector – accounting for roughly 80% of Transnet Freight Rail’s business and 50% of overall revenue. The board was loaded with engineers, industry representatives and labour, people who knew how to run an enterprise of this complexity.
Out went #Derby and #Mzimela, replaced by Michelle #Phillips as acting group CEO and Russell #Baatjies as acting CEO for freight rail.
Several former Transnet executives who left the organisation over the years have been lured back, including former programme director Marc Descoins.
#Havenga says several other former top executives have been roped into the Transnet recovery plan, many of them with salaries paid by #BusinessSouthAfrica.
Encouraging signs of progress
Writing in Moneyweb last week, Juanita Maree, CEO of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders – which sounded the alarm on Transnet a year ago – noted the encouraging signs of progress since business got involved in the #NLCC. The turnaround at #Durban Container Terminal Pier 2, with a recovery plan crafted and implemented by the crisis committee, will remove the vessel backlog by the end of this month.
“Cabinet’s approval and activation of the Freight Logistics Roadmap also opens the way for reviving a properly resourced, inter-modal, world-class logistics network for South Africa and the region,” says Maree.
Transnet seems to be embracing the collaboration with business:
[...]
The new management team led by Phillips and Baatjies has changed the culture and mood at Transnet, adds Havenga.
“The improvements we have seen in the last few months have all been achieved without massive investment in locomotives and wagons. These improvements are the result of operating smarter. Transnet has a rail network of about 21 000km, but virtually all of its rail revenue comes from just 1 500km of that network. That’s where we need to focus the attention.
“If we can improve turnaround times on the #Sishen-#SaldanhaBay railway line so we get trains turned around in 80 hours instead of 100 hours, that means we can run an extra train a day using the same rolling stock we have. And this can be done.”
The 861km Sishen-Saldanha line between the #NorthernCape and the port of Saldanha Bay in the #WesternCape handles most of the country’s iron ore exports, and its efficiency has had a direct impact on the revenue and profits of #Kumba Iron Ore and other iron ore exporters.
[...]
Perhaps Transnet has finally turned the corner and demonstrated what can be done when cadres are replaced by industry specialists.

It seems like slowly some good news begin to trickle out from #Transnet:
「New public-private rail corridor agreement already boding well – RBCT
[…]
Between November 2023 and today, the initiative has enabled the #PPP to procure locomotive spares in the form of batteries and compressors.
The initiative is delivering a jointly managed project plan and looking at a joint Transnet-#RBCT assessment for the corridor.
Within the period, #TFR proved that it can consistently deliver coal volumes of more than a million tons a week.
An initiative is already in place to renew from April improved 24-hour rail line security surveillance by RBCT, Rapid Rail Police and Transnet.
Procurement processes are being speeded up and every effort is being made to maintain and enhance efficiencies and signalling.
Working with Transnet has already reduced the export cycle time. Work is under way to cut this from 99 hours to 75 hours on certain aspects of the corridor and to decrease loading and offloading time.
“We now have visibility and involvement around what we can do together and how we can, as industry, also assist, because this is for the benefit of everyone.
“We’ve also looked at the improvement of the rolling stock and making sure that the inspections that are happening on the line are proper, the improvement of the overhead traction equipment in the system and, most importantly, we’re in the joint planning process with TFR.
“Our 30-trains-per-day process has already started working. There is very strong ambition coming from RBCT and very strong support coming from Transnet and we’re going to try to get the volumes back to their former glory,” Damasane told the many journalists covering the online event. 」

I am convinced the broken window theory is applicable in many cases.
Therefore I am very happy to see that #Transnet finally fixed their logo lighting and now I am even cautiously optimistic that this might mean the new management could actually care about details and implementation…

「ArcelorMittal SA CEO sees no way of avoiding longs closure, says wind down to start in Jan
ArcelorMittal South Africa CEO Kobus Verster[...]
The loss was attributed largely to electricity load curtailment, implemented at energy-intensive firms at high stages of #loadshedding, which had again been escalated to between Stage 4 and 6 when #ArcelorMittal #SouthAfrica made its wind-down announcement.
It also came amid increased strain between business and government, more generally. Automotive group #Volkswagen issued a warning about the company’s South African operations, citing loadshedding and #logistics problems as key concerns, while #platinum producers have indicated that job cuts are inevitable.
Meanwhile, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo #Ntshavheni, who was widely condemned for suggesting that the private sector was engineering the collapse of the government when commenting on a rand manipulation-related settlement, appeared to double down in an opinion piece penned for the #BusinessDay.」

Meanwhile, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo #Ntshavheni, who was widely condemned for suggesting that the private sector was engineering the collapse of the government when commenting on a rand manipulation-related settlement, appeared to double down in an opinion piece penned for the #BusinessDay.」

「 Volkswagen boss expresses concern over local operations
Although it celebrated 70 years of local production in 2021, the worsening manufacturing struggles are starting to tell at #Volkswagen.
The ongoing energy crisis and logistics challenges has reportedly been cited as some of the reasons for Volkswagen voicing renewed doubt about a sustainable future in #SouthAfrica.
Despite it being well-known that Wolfsburg’s local arm had long been certain of securing a third model at its plant in #Kariega from 2026, known only to be an “SUV-type” vehicle, new claims by its group CEO has cast apparent doubt of whether local production is indeed viable. 」

Goldgrube zu Lasten von Energiewende und Stromkund/inn/en
• TransnetBW-Deal zeigt Fehlsteuerung der Energiewende
• Verteilnetze und Speicher sind viel wichtiger als die teuren FernleitungenDie EnBW möchte 49,9% ihres Übertragungsnetzbetreibers TransnetBW verkaufen. Für die erste der beiden Tranchen wird heute der Verkauf gemeldet. Die geplanten jahrzehntelangen Gewinne aus SuedLink und Ultranet zu Lasten der Stromkund/inn/en sind gewiss längst eingepreist.
In ihrer heutigen Preseemitteilung zum Verkauf der ersten von zwei geplanten Tranchen von je 24,95% der TransnetBW-Anteile preist die EnBW dies als Beitrag zur Energiewende, weil nur so der Finanzierungsbedarf der Energiewende-Projekte gesichert werden könne, der von ihr bundesweit auf insgesamt rund 600 Mrd. € beziffert wird, davon 126 Mrd. € für „neue #Stromleitungen und deren Modernisierung“. Alleine #Transnet BW benötige nämlich schon bis 2035 10 Mrd. € v.a. für die Mega-Fernleitungen #SuedLink und #Ultranet (bei beiden Leitungen ist Transnet nur der kleinere Partner).
Was die #EnBW verschweigt: über die Jahre hinweg werden die kompletten Investitionskosten plus #Finanzierungskosten plus üppige garantierte Rendite nach und nach auf die Stromkund/inn/en umgelegt und werden so die #Netzumlagen und damit die #Strompreise erheblich verteuern. Die letztlich von den Kund/inn/en bezahlten Leitungen im Milliarden-Wert gehören dann aber den #Leitungskonzernen. Ein perfektes und risikoarmes Geschäftsmodell, für das nun #Sparkassen und Co. gerne der EnBW kurzfristig die Liquidität verbessern, um langfristig massiv zu profitieren. Diese Gewinnerwartung zu Lasten der Stromkund/inn/en düfte in den Kaufpreis, den die EnBW erhält, längst eingepreist sein, es werden sicher beide Seiten gewinnen.
Verlieren wird neben den Stromkund/inn/en auch die #Energiewende. Denn das Geld, das in die Mega-Fernleitungen der Übertragungsnetzbetreiber fließt und damit falsche, zentralisierte #Marktverhältnisse zementiert, fehlt den echten Energiewende-Projekten wie dem Ausbau der Strom-Verteilnetze und dem Aufbau einer guten Speicher-#Infrastruktur. Dazu trägt erst recht die Selbstbedienungsmechanik bei, die in den Strom-Netzentwicklungsplänen steckt und grob falsche Anreize zum Bau unnötiger Fernleitungen setzt.An Konzerngewinnen lässt sich die Energiewende nicht ausrichten, im Gegenteil.
Wir erinnern deshalb an die Grundprinzipien einer echten, dezentralen Energiewende:
- Energiesparen
- Energieeffizienz
