Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis has called on Transport Minister Barbara Creecy to include the Port of Cape Town when considering private sector involvement in the upgrade of ports and freight rail lines.
According to a report on Businesslive, Creecy indicated that a Request for Information (RFI) would be issued this month for potential third-party involvement in SA's logistics sector.
"We are encouraged that national government will this month test private sector appetite for partnerships on ports and freight rail.
"This is long overdue, especially for the Port of Cape Town, which is ranked among the worst in the world," Hill-Lewis said.
Moneyweb reported earlier that the Port of Cape Town ranked right at the bottom of the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) released in June last year.
The index is jointly compiled by the World Bank Group and S&P Global.
