Government has set 2029/30 logistics reform targets for rail volumes, port productivity, infrastructure investment and border efficiency, but road freight will remain central because it still moves 80-84 of South Africas cargo.
Deputy Minister of Transport, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, told delegates at the Road Freight Association RFA Convention 2026, which was held in Zimbali this weekend, that a thriving logistics network was critical to national success.
We would all agree that an efficient and functioning transport sector that moves people and goods safely, speedily and affordably across the length and breadth of our country is the key to a successful economy, Hlengwa said.
