#TransportMonth2026 | Nearly 50,000 employees. One shared purpose. Throughout Transport Month, we've highlighted the numbers behind the movement. But behind every train journey, vessel operation, port activity and pipeline delivery are the people who make it happen. From frontline operations to technical specialists and support teams, their expertise, dedication and commitment keep South Africa moving every day. As we conclude Transport Month 2026, we celebrate not only the achievements reflected in the numbers, but the people behind them. Thank you to every Transnet employee for helping move economies and shape a stronger future. When Transnet Works, South Africa Thrives. #OTM2026 #ReinventForGrowth #OperationalExcellence

[Listen] In this latest episode of Lentswe, we sit down with Clarence King, Project Manager and lead of the Tippler 3 Project in Saldanha, to unpack one of Transnet’s most critical infrastructure projects and its role in advancing operational performance and growth. This insightful conversation explores the project's scope, key milestones achieved to date, and the impact Tippler 3 is expected to have on capacity, efficiency, and operations. Clarence provides a firsthand account of the progress being made, the challenges overcome, and the significance of delivering strategic projects that strengthen South Africa’s freight logistics network. As we reflect on Transport Month, this episode serves as a powerful proof point of the work underway across Transnet to modernise infrastructure, unlock capacity, and deliver on strategic projects that contribute to long-term growth and operational excellence. 🎞️ Visit our YouTube channel to watch the full episode 🔗 youtu.be/IYQobvr3AOA #LentswePodcast #TransportMonth2026 #InfrastructureDevelopment #ReinventForGrowth #WhenTransnetWorksSAThrives
