# The Citrus Growers’ Association has welcomed government’s 51-billion-rand guarantee for Transnet and recent progress on private sector participation. With the 2025 citrus season nearing peak weeks, the association’s CEO, Boitshoko Ntshabele, says smooth logistics are crucial as Southern Africa targets exports of over 171-million cartons. Transnet has added staff, equipment, and reefer maintenance. He says while personal share portfolio momentum is promising, the association urges faster rail access and port upgrades to meet the goal of 100-thousand new jobs by 2032.
