President Cyril Ramaphosa will be in the Eastern Cape on Tuesday and Wednesday on an oversight visit that will include engagements with the provincial government and a briefing on the Port of Ngqura.
The Presidency said Transnet’s leaders would brief the president on the port, which was one of South Africa’s newest deep-water ports, designed for high-efficiency container handling and large vessels.
It is also strategically aligned with the Coega Special Economic Zone and positioned as a key transshipment hub for southern Africa. Ramaphosa will get an update on plans to improve operational efficiencies at the port and projects currently underway.
On Wednesday, the president and Cabinet will meet Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane and his executive council to discuss conditions and opportunities in the province as part of strengthening intergovernmental cooperation, collaboration and consultation.
They will discuss ways of improving service delivery at local government level.
