South Africa's Transnet begins process to expand manganese export capacity

SuperUser Account 0 6 Article rating: No rating
South Africa's State-owned logistics operator Transnet said on Friday it has started the process of picking a private sector partner to develop and operate a new manganese export terminal for 25 years, as it seeks to expand the mineral's export capacity by 20%. South Africa is the world's top manganese exporter, having shipped about 26-million metric tons in 2025, according to the Minerals Council. Manganese is mostly used in steel manufacturing, but increasingly in battery technologies, which are vital for renewable energy. Transnet, which currently handles about 16-million tons of South Africa's manganese exports annually through its freight rail system, is seeking a private sector partner to fund, develop, operate and maintain a new export corridor from mines in the Northern Cape to a new terminal at Ngqura, in the Eastern Cape.

Eskom chairperson Dr Mteto Nyati, whose term has been extended by a further three years, says the board’s top priority has shifted from guaranteeing electricity stability to ensuring affordability. In addition, he drew a direct link between that goal and moves under way to fully separate the National Transmission Company South Africa from Eskom Holdings, while questioning the prevailing view that he and the board were opposed to such restructuring. Speaking after Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa confirmed that Cabinet had endorsed his reappointment as from November 1, Nyati said the board would now focus on implementing the ‘Eskom 2.0’ strategy outlined for it by its shareholder. The strategy has multiple objectives, but places emphasis on the need for affordable electricity for both businesses and households and to facilitate government’s reindustrialisation vision.
