Port operator Transnet Port Terminals will spend R33-billion (US$4.3-billion) over the next seven years on upgrading and expanding South Africa's ports, as part of a massive state-led infrastructure drive aimed at boosting the country's economic growth.

The R33-billion capital expenditure will form part of state-owned Transnet Group's R300-billion (US$39.1-billion) expenditure on port and rail capital projects until 2018/19.

Unveiling details of the expenditure in Durban on Thursday, Transnet Port Terminals CEO Karl Socikwa said Transnet's new market demand strategy "has major implications for our division's responsibility to facilitate unconstrained growth, unlock demand and create world-class port operations through improved efficiencies.

Boosting port competitiveness, efficiency

"It entails an acceleration of our capacity creation programmes at all our major terminals, to ensure that we are able to grow the economy and make the ports as competitive and efficient as possible," Socikwa said in a statement.

Seventy-one percent of the R33-billion spend will be on port expansion projects, while the remaining 29% will go towards "capital sustaining projects", including the replacement and refurbishment of equipment, Socikwa said.

The expansion projects will see major increases in the container handling capacity of the ports in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal and Ngqura outside Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape.

Container handling capacity

Durban Continer Terminal's Pier 1 will see its capacity grow from 700 000 to 1.2-million TEUs by 2016/17, while its Pier 2 capacity will expand from 2.1-million to 3.3-million TEUs by 2017/18.

The Ngqura Container Terminal, which has been earmarked as a transshipment hub, will be expanded from 800 000 to 2-million TEUs by 2018/19.

Container capacity is also being created in other terminals, such as the Durban Ro-Ro and Maydon Wharf Terminal, through the acquisition of new equipment, including as mobile cranes, and various infrastructure upgrades.

Bulk handling capacity

The bulk handling capacity at Ngqura, Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, and Saldanha in the Western Cape will also come in for major expansion.

R3.7-billion has been set aside for the ageing Richards Bay Terminal, with investments in mobile equipment, quayside equipment and weighbridges fast-tracked for 2012/13, and safety-critical, environmental and legal compliance projects also in the pipeline.

R1.2-billion will be spent on creating new capacity, including new storage areas, at Richards Bay, while Transnet also pursues the reengineering of the port to create additional capacity for bulk products at the terminal.

Saldanha's iron ore bulk facility, which has undergone significant expansion in recent years, will be further expanded, taking its capacity from 60 to 82 million tons per annum.

Additional manganese capacity will be created by relocating the existing, 5.5mtpa export facility in Port Elizabeth to a new two-berth manganese facility at the Port of Ngqura, boosting capacity to 12 million tons per annum from 2016/17.

First-world infrastructure plus a vibrant emerging market equals huge investment potential!

Canadian miner Platinum Group Metals has announced the discovery of potentially rich platinum deposits in a previously unexplored part of the platinum-rich Bushveld Igneous Complex in the Waterberg region of South Africa's Limpopo province.

The company first announced its Waterberg discovery in November, followed by a statement in February saying that "multiple intercepts of consistently high grade, thick reef" with "excellent exploration potential" had been discovered at depths of much less than 1 000 metres.

Extension of the Bushveld Complex

It described the estimated basket metal price for the reefs under exploration as "attractive and high in gold", noting that the northern "limb" of the Bushveld Complex had seen an increase in exploration and investment in the past seven years because of "larger thickness" suitable for mechanized mining.

The company's Waterberg project is located north of this northern limb - an extension of the Bushveld Complex that the company discovered in 2011.

On the basis of the high grade, shallow and wide drill intercepts discovered since then, the company estimates that the extension covers at least 100 square kilometres.

'Don't assume the best stuff's already been found'

It has expanded its Waterberg exploration programme from five to eight drill rigs, with CEO Mike Jones, in an interview with Business Day, describing the find as "geologically the most interesting thing I've done".

"In South Africa, there's been more than 100 years of mining, but don't be so sure the best-grade thicknesses have all been found yet," he told Business Day last week.

According to the newspaper, Platinum Group "has diverted its entire geology team from its Western Bushveld Joint Venture mine near the Pilanesberg game reserve to the project, and may add two more drill rigs and dramatically bump up the venture's US$2-million exploration budget."

The Waterberg project is a joint venture between Platinum Group (49.9%), Japanese state company JOGMEC (37%), and South African empowerment company Mnombo Wethu, which owns a 26% stake in the project (and is 49% owned by Platinum Group).

First-world infrastructure plus a vibrant emerging market equals huge investment potential!

South Africa's national women's football team, Banyana Banyana, were handed a very tough draw for the London Olympic Games on Wednesday. Their pool includes three teams ranked inside the top seven in the world.

At number three in the Fifa rankings, 2011 World Cup winners Japan present a formidable obstacle, while Sweden is ranked fifth and Canada seventh. South Africa is ranked 65th.

"Drawing World Cup champions Japan in our group ... well, it doesn't come much more challenging than that," captain Amanda Dlamini said in a statement on Wednesday. "But we are a highly competitive unit and will give it our all to make all those who have been supporting us, including the football fans in South Africa and across the African continent, proud.

'A dream come true'

"It's a dream come true for Banyana Banyana to be a part of Team SA at the Olympics, and I can assure you that the players will be working harder than ever in training in the hope of being among the 18 athletes who will get the chance to compete in London," Dlamini said.

South Africa face the Swedes first in Coventry on 25 July. That match is followed by another at the same venue two days later, against Canada. On 31 July, Banyana take on Japan in Cardiff.

Banyana coach Joseph Mkhonza was in London for the draw on Wednesday and shared his thoughts about it afterwards. "We are humbled to be here as this is a historic day for us as South Africans, and we have been drawn against some high-profile teams," he said.

'Not an easy task'

"It will not be an easy task for us, so we need to step up preparations to ensure that we're ready to compete against these three countries, but as you know the game of football can be very unpredictable, and this all depends on how a team performs on the day.

"We are very optimistic given the fact that, thanks to Sasol and Safa (the South African Football Association), we've been having various training camps since the beginning of the year to ensure that we make our presence felt coming to the Olympics as we look to promote women's football in South Africa."

South Africa will contest Group F at the Olympics. Group E is made up of composite team Great Britain, New Zealand (ranked 24th in the world), Cameroon (52nd) and Brazil (4th), while Group G includes the USA (1st), France (6th), Colombia (28th) and North Korea (8th).

After the group phase of competition, the top two teams from each pool will advance to the last eight, along with the two best third-place teams.

SAinfo reporter

South Africa's national women's football team, Banyana Banyana, is making use of state-of-the-art video analysis as they look to do South Africa proud against the world's top female football-playing nations at the London Olympic Games in July.

"The Amisco programme is used by the Fifa Technical Study Group and by 11 PSL clubs and international brands, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Hamburg, Inter Milan and many more," Amisco video analyst Wade Benn said in a statement on Wednesday.

Bafana Bafana has also been using the programme over the last few months, with the coaches singing its praises.

Analysis

The programme takes the emotion out of decision-making, and allows the coaches to prepare thoroughly for training and matches, not only through remembering what they previously saw of players, but by analysing video clips and statistical research.

"Each of the four matches played by Banyana Banyana at the recent Cyprus Women's Cup has led to a 31-page report, providing the coaches with in-depth information on elements including the team's strengths and weaknesses, goals scored and conceded, possession retained and lost," Benn explained.

"The coaches will also receive a tournament report summing up strengths and weaknesses, and key tactical and statistical points from the Cyprus Women's Cup."

'A major improvement'

"I can see a major improvement in certain areas of Banyana Banyana's play over the past two months since Amisco was actioned, with the coaches using the information to place focus where on-field matters need to be rectified," Benn said.

"The players' match intelligence is also improving, as they are able to see the decisions they could and should have made, and how to position themselves on the field."

Cape Town-based Benn has been working with Banyana Banyana team since early February. He has also worked with PSL sides Ajax Cape Town, Amazulu and Moroka Swallows.

Further measures

The South African Football Association has also introduced further measures to help Banyana succeed at the Games in London.

The team's support staff now comprises of a technical adviser, an assistant coach, goalkeeper coach, team manager, physical trainer, doctor, physiotherapist, biokinetics specialist, masseur and two kit managers, as well as a media liaison officer, a security manager and a video analyst.

Slovenia has named its strongest possible side to do battle with South Africa in an all-important Euro/Africa Zone Group One Davis Cup tie at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Centre in Jabavu, Soweto from 6 to 8 April.

South Africa will be without its two highest ranked singles players, Kevin Anderson and Rik de Voest, for a showdown that will see the winning team into a playoff tie for a place in the prestigious World Group.

The Slovenian team, which will be captained by Blaz Trupej, includes two players ranked in the top 150 of world tennis, namely Blaz Kavcic (107) and Grega Zemlja (130). The other two men in the line-up are relatively unknown players in Janez Semrajc (668) and Nik Razborsek, who has no world ranking. Kavcic, the star Slovenian player was ranked as high as number 70 in the world six months ago.

'A very competent team'

"This Slovenian team named is a very competent team," SA Davis Cup captain John-Laffnie de Jager said in a statement.

"With two player ranked in the top 130 of world tennis they certainly could be seen as favoured, but two men don't make up a team and, as we have seen on so many occasions, anything is possible at any time in Davis Cup competition.

"My boys are ready for the challenge and are quietly confident too."

The South African team will comprise John-Laffnie De Jager, Izak Van Der Merwe, Raven Klaasen, Ruan Roelofse and Jean Andersen.

No entry fee

"Easter time is tennis time this year and we are not charging an entry fee which will hopefully attract a big crowd to Soweto to support our team do battle with Slovenia," said Ian Smith, the CEO of Tennis South Africa.

"Davis Cup is one of the most exciting team sport events and the players participating in this tie are top class professionals, so there promises to be some great tennis action over the three days."

The two teams have never met in Davis Cup competition and in the latest Davis Cup ranking, South Africa is in 24th position, while Slovenia is ranked 30th.

Gap Inc. opened two stores in South Africa this week as the global retailer set up a base for expansion into the continent - and said it expected more retailers to enter the country in the next few years as the local retail sector matured.

"We are excited to bring Gap's casual American style and store experience to more customers in South Africa," Stefan Laban, Gap's MD of strategic alliances, said in a statement on Tuesday.

"South Africa is the natural next step for expanding our presence on the continent. The country has a thriving economy and high Gap brand awareness, so we believe there is tremendous opportunity for us in the market," Laban said.

Gap's opened its first store in Johannesburg's Sandton City Mall on Tuesday, followed by a second in Cape Town's Tyger Valley Centre on Wednesday - and according to financial news agency I-Net Bridge, plans to open a third in Pretoria's Brooklyn Mall later this year.

Each store will house product from the international Gap, GapKids and babyGap collections, and the assortment will be customized seasonally to best suit the needs of local customers and the warm South African climate.

Gap's move follows that of Spain's Inditex Group - Europe's largest fashion retailer - which opened its first South African Zara store in Sandton late last year, and its second at the Gateway Shopping Centre outside Durban in March.

Laban told I-Net Bridge this week that, as demand slowed in Europe and the US, more retailers were seeking growth in emerging markets such as South Africa.

Gap sells clothing, accessories and personal care products for men, women, children and babies under the Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, and Athleta brands.

Its products are available in over 90 countries through about 3 000 company-operated stores, over 200 franchise stores, as well as e-commerce websites. The company's net sales for fiscal year 2011 amounted to US$14.5-billion.

South Africa's custom-built "health train", Phelophepha I, delivers health services to remote areas of the country, reaching over 180 000 patients a year. That number will now be doubled, following this week's launch of the R80-million Phelophepha II.

What started out in 1994 as a modest three-carriage ophthalmological clinic, the Phelophepa Health Care Train has grown to hold 18 fully refurbished coaches fitted with special healthcare equipment.

The two trains will now operate simultaneously, providing on-board primary healthcare, dental, optometry and psychological care to South Africans living in areas otherwise beyond the reach of such services.

A project of South African state logistics company Transnet, with major backing from Swiss pharmaceutical firm Roche, Phelophepa I has received numerous local and international accolades, including the prestigious United Nations Public Service Award.

Practical training institutions

Engineered and built at Transnet's facility in Salt River, Cape Town, the R82-million Phelophepa II boasts advanced technology, including a fibre-optic network - a first for any train in South Africa.

Besides the services they offer to their patients, the trains serve as training institutions for final-year nursing, dental, optometry, psychology and pharmaceutical students both from South Africa and abroad.

Each train has 20 permanent staff, 16 contracted security officials and 40 students staffing it. As with its predecessor, Phelophepa II will run from January to September of every year.

Over 5.5-million people reached

Over 5.5-million people have been reached by the project since 1994, and over 20 000 student doctors and nurses have had the opportunity to hone their skills on Phelophepa.

Speaking at the launch of Phelophepa II at Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape on Monday, Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba said the new train "demonstrates how public-private sector partnerships can be used to transform the lives of communities through social entrepreneurship".

Transnet Group chief executive Brian Molefe said Phelophepa II would allow the company to "make an even bigger contribution to society by providing more health care to communities that need these services the most".

Also speaking at the launch, Franz Humer, chairman of the board of directors at Roche, said the company was "proud to have continuously grown our support for the Phelophepa healthcare train during the 18 years of our sponsorship, because Phelophepa has such a remarkable impact on the lives of thousands of people every year".

Roche sponsors the trains' primary health care clinics and pharmacies, while Colgate-Palmolive partly sponsors the dental clinic.

Journalists from the Middle East, visiting the country as guests of Brand South Africa, have been introduced to the constructive role businesses play in reaching SA's economic growth, development and transformation goals.

They have also learned how the National Treasury is responsible for managing South Africa's government finances.

Their visit to Business Unity South Africa (Busa) and the National Treasury were part of Brand South Africa's aim to expose the international press to South Africa's business environment, as well as its regulatory and policy systems.

Mahmood Saberi of Gulf News, a Dubai publication, said: "I'm here to basically see how trade relations and investments can be improved between the United Arab Emirates and South Africa."

Saberi also said he was looking forward to seeing scenic spots of South Africa like Table Mountain.

Saberi is joined by Peter Smith, of Dubai Gulf Business; Hala Saqqa, a senior account executive at Hill and Knowlton Strategies in Dubai; Roger Romanos; the senior editor at Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal Group; and Bahaa Alawam, a Syrian journalist.

Uncertainty of growth in the world

The wellbeing of Europe's economic system and the US economy are just some factors that will determine whether South Africa reaches its projected 3.3% budget deficit by 2014.

Lungisa Fuzile, the director-general of the National Treasury, said: "Domestically, we need to invest in things that are growth-intensive such as infrastructure, which will make business transactions easier. These, for example, are ports and roads.

"Regulatory regimes in different sectors also need to be revised so there is no barrier to entry for people to do business."

Externally there had to be a South African presence in markets with higher growth potential, and seven of these markets were in Africa.

Surviving 2009 recession

South Africa's financial system showed great resilience during the 2009 world economic crunch. Fuzile said: “In South Africa, we have a four-pillar model, meaning we have four big banks and other smaller ones.

"The fact that we survived the recession in 2009 is largely due to the fact that these banks' dependence on foreign funding is limited."

Another factor that led to South Africa withstanding the recession was the National Credit Act, which made seeking credit harder. "Although there was talk that this Act was too restrictive, recent readings in terms of credit extension ratings show that they are rising, so this Act is not too restrictive," said Fuzile.

Wal-Mart and Massmart deal

The Wal-Mart-Massmart merger was recently approved by the Competition Tribunal.

The deal concludes the R16.5-billion (US$22-million) cash offer by Wal-Mart to acquire 51% of Massmart at R148 ($18) per Massmart share - a smaller stake than the initial 100% offer made in September 2011, but one that would see Massmart retain its listing on the Johannesburg stock exchange, the JSE.

Fuzile said: "The message that was being sent by the conclusion of this deal by the tribunal is that of free trade because we do not want to restrict entry to our markets for others hence we also feel the brunt later."

The Tribunal said: "Wal-Mart does not compete with Massmart in South Africa and its only presence in the country is a small procurement arm that sources local products for its stores globally.

"The merging parties contend that the merger will indeed be good for competition by bringing lower prices and additional choice to South African consumers. We accept that this is a likely outcome of the merger based on Wal-Mart’s history in bringing about lower prices."

The voice of business in SA

Busa acts as the representative of South African business views on the continent and internationally. It interacts with the government in terms of policy and what will make being in business easier in South Africa.

Its objectives include: promoting broad-based black economic empowerment, advancing and promoting initiatives aimed at job creation, labour law amendments and the alleviation of poverty, and enabling business to play a meaningful strategic role in South Africa's overall development.

Nomaxabiso Majokweni, Busa's chief executive officer, said: "Being in business in South Africa is easy, starting with the registering of your business, which takes nearly a month depending on the complexity of your business."

The 2011-2012 World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report indicates that South Africa is at position 50 and has the most competitive economy in sub-Saharan Africa.

Majokweni said: "Africa is still a huge market for South Africa but we need South African businesses to invest in Africa instead of just importing and exporting."

First-world infrastructure plus a vibrant emerging market equals huge investment potential!

Just three months after opening its first South African store in Sandton, Spain's Inditex Group, which is Europe's largest fashion retailer, has announced plans to open a second Zara store at the Gateway Shopping Centre outside Durban.

The store, to open on 2 March, will be more than 1 700 square meters of retail space on a single floor in one of South Africa's largest regional shopping centres.

Zara will offer a customised range of apparel for women, men and kids, with its collections tailored to meet the country's climatic conditions. According to a statement this week, the company says that its store will stock the latest trends in garments and fabrics most appropriate for the season.

It will also constantly refresh its clothing collections, with new items being delivered to the store twice weekly.

The store will use materials such as resin and aluminium for furnishings and fittings and porcelain tiles for flooring, creating a light-filled environment.

"Zara's South African customers will find a revamped store image, with display areas and furnishings designed to convey a sense of simplicity and elegance," the company said.

"Neutral shades predominate in the store’s colour scheme, allowing Zara's fashions to take centre stage."

Zara opened its first South African store at the Sandton City shopping centre in November last year. Covering more than 2 700 square meters, the store is one of the company's largest worldwide, and was opened with much fanfare.

Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has announced a 23-man squad to play Senegal in an international friendly that takes place in the evening of Wednesday, 29 February, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Mosimane was at the ground to name the squad on Thursday and recalled some regular players who missed the matches against Equatorial Guinea, Zambia and Ghana earlier this year.

The coach however, left out Orlando Pirates' players from the clash against the Terranga Lions to give them ample time to prepare for the CAF Champions League return leg against Recreativo de Libolo of Angola, scheduled for next weekend.

"In the interest of the nation, I decided to leave out Pirates players as they will be preparing for a crucial CAF encounter away in Angola. If we select them, Pirates would have played six games in 18 days when they go for their second leg in Angola.

"If our clubs do well on the continent, this will also lift the morale of our national team players," said Mosimane.

Newcomer

There is only one newcomer to the squad: striker Edward Manqela of Free State Stars. Thamsanqa Sangweni, though uncapped, was part of the team that played against Zambia and Ghana in practice matches.

After sitting out with a back injury, goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune returns to the Bafana line-up for the first time since the side's last 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Sierra Leone in Nelspruit in October 2011.

Siphiwe Tshabalala and Reneilwe Letsholonyane were not considered as they are carrying injuries. Tsepo Masilela and Bongani Khumalo have niggling injuries but are expected to pass late fitness tests.

Captain Steven Pienaar also returns after an absence due to a long-term injury. Sweden-based May Mahlangu has also been included, after he made his debut in the friendly match against Equatorial Guinea in January.

Afcon 2013

"This match presents us with an opportunity to prepare well for the 2013 Afcon tournament which we are going to host," said Mosimane.

"It's important to play the likes of Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Zambia and Senegal. The challenge with playing these strong sides is that a win is not easily achieved, but we gain lots of experience in preparation for Afcon 2013, unlike winning easily against a small team and learning little."

"It's going to be a difficult match for us, more so because we haven't won for a while, though we have drawn against some top sides on the continent.

"We want to win, but it won't be easy against the wounded Teranga Lions, who have included other new players from Europe who were not part of the 2012 Afcon tournament," added the Bafana Bafana coach.

2014 World Cup qualifiers

Apart from the Afcon tournament, both sides will use the clash to fine-tune their players for the crucial 2014 Brazil Fifa World Cup qualifiers that start in June this year.

Bafana Bafana is in Group A alongside Ethiopia, Botswana and the Central African Republic. South Africa's first match is against Ethiopia in June.

Senegal is in Group J with Angola, Uganda and Liberia. They're currently ranked 68th in the world and 16th on the continent, while South Africa is ranked 58th and 10th respectively.

Preparation

Bafana Bafana will assemble for a camp on Sunday night (26 February) and the squad is expected in Durban on Monday morning (27 February). They will hold two training sessions at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Monday (17:00) and Tuesday evening (17:00).

Deputy Mayor of eThekwini Municipality, Nomvuzo Shabalala said Durban was looking forward to seeing the national team in action. "The eThekwini Municipality is delighted to be hosting Bafana Bafana at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium. It has been a while since Durban hosted an international soccer match at the stadium and we know our people have been yearning for this opportunity.

"We are also very patriotic about our national teams and we want Bafana Bafana to experience that in Durban. We therefore call on all Durbanites and KZN fans to buy tickets early so that we can fill the stadium and give great support to our boys."
