# Finance analyst Ciaran Ryan has warned that South Africa’s transport reforms risk repeating mistakes seen in the partial privatisation of Telkom. In his opinion piece on Moneyweb, Ryan says Transnet retaining majority control in key projects may deter private investment and limit reform impact. Concerns centre on regulatory burdens and unclear risk-sharing for partners. While the government aims to modernise infrastructure and boost efficiency, he argues that without greater independence for private players, reforms could slow economic growth and undermine long-term sector sustainability.
