# Business Leadership South Africa says reform of the logistics sector is critical to the country’s future economic success. According to the latest financial year data for 2025/2026, the country’s eight commercial ports welcomed eight-thousand-630 vessel arrivals. This represents a nine-percent increase in ship traffic compared to the previous financial year. BLSA CEO Busiswe Mavuso says momentum must accelerate, with the completion of the Network Statement, more port concessions finalised, and the need for transaction terms that genuinely enable private investment rather than protecting Transnet’s monopoly.
