Transnet looking for a partner to fund R44 billion corridor expansion

• Transnet is seeking a private partner to fund the R44 billion expansion and operation of the Ngqura manganese export corridor.
• The Ngqura manganese export corridor runs from mines in the Northern Cape province to ports in the Eastern Cape, with the harbours at Port Elizabeth and Ngqura becoming 'fragmented and inefficient' due to the upgrade.
• The deadline for applications for the project is 26 February.
