The slow pace of development in eThekwini was raised at a meeting with Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Ebrahim Patel
Sappi Southern Africa’s vice-president for supply chain, Morgan Moodley, said his company was struggling to get its products to export markets because of flood damaged rail infrastructure at Umkomaas.
Patel said he would facilitate a meeting between Durban business leaders and Transnet to discuss what the government was planning regarding transport and logistics, so that business could “fill the gaps” regarding any additional issues that need to be tackled. Responding to Singh’s concerns, Patel said he was “pleased” that he had been “so persistent in the face of red tape” to attempt to develop the Durban studio.
