Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) Corporatization
Shaping the implementation of South Africa’s port reform
On 23 September 2026, Cabinet supported the corporatization of TNPA to operate as a stand-alone company owned directly by the State. This decision was taken in accordance with the applicable empowering prescripts of the Minister of Transport.
The Department of Transport invites port users, industry stakeholders and all interested parties to participate in regional public engagement sessions on the corporatization of the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA).
While the proposed corporatization process has previously been consulted on with the statutory members of the Port Consultative Committees, the Minister of Transport has deemed it necessary to broaden stakeholder engagement to include the wider port user community and other interested parties.
The purpose of these engagements is to present the TNPA Corporatization Roadmap, provide an overview of the envisaged implementation process, and create an opportunity for stakeholders to share their perspectives, raise matters of concern and provide inputs on the proposed implementation arrangements.
The engagements are intended to promote inclusivity, transparency and constructive dialogue as the Department advances the implementation of the corporatization process.
