South Africa's Durban port faces a staff shortage due to an ongoing strike over wages

South Africa's Durban port faces a staff shortage due to an ongoing strike over wages

Posted on October 17, 2022   |  

  • Last week, Transnet's workers began a strike over the wage dispute, which manages South Africa's freight rail network and ports.
  • The strike impacted waterside and landside operations at its Durban port, which controls 65% of South Africa’s container volumes.
  • The Transnet strike will also worsen the mining industry’s logistics problems because South Africa’s Minerals Council suffered a revenue loss of 50 billion rands ($2.76 billion) this year.
