DA says port reforms must deliver faster and more efficient trade

# The DA says government must urgently allow more private companies to take part in running South Africa’s ports. The party’s Chris Hunsinger says phase three of the government-business partnership must deliver real reforms to improve port efficiency and reduce delays. According to Hunsinger, private investment can bring more competition, skills and funding while keeping strategic port infrastructure in state hands. He wants faster progress on private concessions, changes to Transnet’s port structure and stronger powers for the port’s regulator.
