Transnet National Ports Authority TNPA has broken ground on the R147 million Latimers Landing project at the Port of East London.
TNPA said on Tuesday that the revitalisation of the quay structure marked a significant step in the ports waterfront development, which was crucial for boosting tourism and economic growth.
The structure is a critical port infrastructure asset, which was originally designed for marine operational use but has over the years transitioned into a public recreational area essential for local tourism activities, the ports authority said.
