The company strangling South Africa

South Africa's government berated Transnet, which runs the state freight-rail monopoly, for its poor performance, saying it's costing jobs in a nation where one in three are unemployed.

Michelle Phillips, who took over as Transnet's chief executive officer in February, faced sustained criticism of the company's failure to lift freight volumes from government ministers at a closed-door meeting held in President Cyril Ramaphosa's presence on Tuesday, two people at the event said.
 
It would have been a great help if the ANC Government had not totally destroyed Transnet, first, and now they have a sudden need for a functioning Transnet, and want miracles to happen. Eish!!
 
Just another anc success, nothing to see here.
Well, just close it down and start a new one, because that always fixes things.
 
"Transnet's decline saving South Africa from loadshedding"

My invoice for fixing the headline is in the mail.
 
Imagine transporting all the containers from KZN and Cape town all over SA with trains.
So there is a opportunity and Transnet cant grasp that.
 
Strange, I seem to recall that if you point a finger at something or someone, then 3 fingers of your own point back at you.
Also, pointing fingers hasn't ever solved any problems. So perhaps there should be less finger pointing and more actively solving the actual problem be done then?
