Transnet CFO Nosipho Maphumulo told #SCOPA that in mid-2025, the company faced credit rating downgrades from Moody’s and S&P due to cash shortages and falling revenues. With R46.2 billion in loans tied to keeping a good rating, agencies flagged issues like low volume growth and limited cash access. A downgrade would’ve forced Transnet to repay the full R46.2 billion immediately, which it did not have. @follow_transnet

The final leg of the campaign will take place next month in Beaufort West. Together, we are putting shoes on feet and smiles on faces. #TransnetCares #TransnetFoundation #ShoesOnFeetCampaign

[HAPPENING NOW] NATIONAL TRANSPORT CONFERENCE - DAY 3 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Yesterday, Transnet Group Chief Executive, Michelle Phillips, participated as a panellist at the National Transport Conference 2026, contributing to a discussion on the impact of global transport and supply chain networks on South Africa’s Special Economic Zones, logistics hubs and freight villages as catalysts for transport-led economic growth and regional integration. She highlighted that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have resulted in shipping diversions around the Cape of Good Hope, creating opportunities for local ports while also placing pressure on operations. Adverse weather conditions and vessels seeking refuge at terminals have added to these challenges. Despite this, Phillips noted that South Africa remains strategically positioned along key global trade routes, supported by an integrated logistics network spanning rail, ports, roads and pipelines. She emphasised that through collaboration and forward-looking dialogue, Transnet continues to support initiatives that drive economic growth, improve supply chain efficiency, and advance regional integration across the African continent. #NTCConference #TransnetAtNTCConference #ReinventForGrowth #R4G #DoTConference
