Transnet’s South Durban Dig-Out Port: ubiquitous image of what we can expect

who wins from new
infrastructure spending? • Johan van Zyl, Toyota SA CEO: ‘Durban as a
brand is not strong enough to simply say “come and invest in Durban”. What it needs to attract investors are big projects. Durban needs to keep ahead of the competition. China is building ports they don’t even know when they will use. If return on investment is the line of thinking we may never see
the infrastructure.’ – 6 February 2012
