Our Just Energy Transition is gaining momentum.   Over 13 billion US dollars have been pledged by the international community and significant private capital is being invested locally.   We are determined to meet our carbon reduction commitments, and will do so at a pace and scale that our country can afford.   We are revitalising our port terminals and rail corridors through the Freight Logistics Roadmap, leveraging private capital to restore them to world class standards.   Transnet’s performance has stabilised and is steadily improving.   We released a Network Statement in December 2024 which, for the first time, will enable private rail operators to access the freight rail system   Open access to the rail network will allow train operating companies to increase the volume of goods transported by rail, while our network infrastructure remains state owned.   This will ensure that South African minerals, vehicles and agricultural produce reach international markets, securing jobs and earning much needed revenue for our fiscus.   New cranes and other port equipment are being commissioned to speed up the loading and unloading of cargo and reduce waiting times for ships in our ports.   #SONA2025 #AWorkingNation
