DEALING WITH CORRUPTION

THERE has been no growth in capacity at Transnet despite investments which have been made over the years, the stateowned logistics company’s acting chief executive, Tau Morwe, said yesterday. “Over the years, we have been investing, but what we have not seen is growth in the volumes,” he said, adding that addressing corruption was an answer to questions on how Transnet was dealing with the challenges within the group. “This is a response to the questions: ‘With all the problems that we currently have within Transnet, what is it that we are doing, what assurance can you give us that projects would be accomplished?’” Under the topic “Providing freight logistics capacity to meet demand for the bulk mining commodities”, Morwe addressed delegates at the 25th annual Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town. He told them the group was dealing with corruption and past issues that emanated from state capture. “We are going back, revisiting the forensic reports, results not implemented, and ensuring we bring them to completion,” he said.
