As this issue went to press on Monday morning, the Road Freight Employers’ Association (RFEA) and Unions had failed to resolve the dispute with striking workers after talks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday deadlocked.

The Unions are still demanding double digit figures – this amidst a strike

that has already cost the industry significantly.

Zimbabwe has introduced yet another fee for cargo entering its borders.

In a communiqué sent to the Road Freight Association (RFA), and effective since September 10, the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare requires all goods – whether or not in transit – which require health clearance to pay an inspection fee.

The inspection of special cargo that includes human remains now costs $20, while general cargo carried on light trucks pays $15 and general cargo on heavy trucks has to pay $25.

According to RFA spokesman Gavin Kelly, this is despite a meeting between South African and Zimbabwean authorities earlier this year to address exactly this problem.

“South African operators remain unduly prejudiced when crossing the borders into Zimbabwe due to the number of taxes, duties and levies that are not imposed on foreign operators coming into South Africa,” he said. “The fees, taxes or levies are just introduced without fair warning and do not take the SADC protocol into account.”

He said the RFA had set

up the meeting between South Africa’s Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (CBRTA) and Zimbabwean authorities that had taken place earlier this year. This was followed by a multilateral summit in Pretoria in August where Zimbabwe was present.

“The South African trucker just has to keep on paying and new tariffs are introduced all the time. In

August at the summit no-one from Zimbabwe mentioned yet another new tariff was on the cards, but a week or two later the letter arrives,” he said. “These practices are extremely questionable.”

The CBRTA maintains that the only way to address issues such as these is through the equalisation of charges across the SADC region – a matter that SADC itself has taken up.

Groupage operator International Liner Agencies (ILA) has introduced several new inland ports to its service offering from India, adding flexibility on this growing trade lane.

The launch of the new hinterland destinations in Ludhiana (Punjab), Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Jaipur (Rajasthan), Indore (Central India) and Kanpur (North India), coincided with a visit to South Africa by Samir Parekh, managing director of ILA’s long-time Indian agent International Liner Shipping Agency (ILSA), improving accessibility of cargo from these markets..

ILSA’s groupage services are focused on East and South Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands while its FCL offering

covers the Arabian Gulf, Africa, Europe, Red Sea and Colombo.

Regular visits by overseas partners are vital to ILA’s strategy, says national sales and marketing director Raymond Cutts. “It’s important that our agents understand the changing face of the market in South Africa and that our customers appreciate at first hand the issues in India.

“For example, historically carriers have run direct services into Durban,” says Cutts. “They’ve now changed their routing which means that our service offering had to be adjusted.”

ILA is committed to a weekly sailing from Nava Sheva and Delhi and is now running direct containers into Cape Town which used to be a seasonal

arrangement, he added.“The weekly Cape Town

option was launched in April this year and we’re finding growing support for this direct service,” said Cutts.

While port congestion, delays by suppliers, weather conditions and the like all impact the flow of cargo at source in India, infrastructure shortfalls and inefficiency by both port and rail are the challenges faced in South Africa.

But Cutts believes that challenges create opportunity and it’s ILA’s ability to deal with these challenges that makes the difference in a highly competitive market, he told FTW.

“Information is vital,” says Parekh, “We provide accurate, up-to-date reports from the moment the booking is made, through

transhipment in Colombo and onward transportation to South Africa.”

“We push information continually so that if there is a problem, alternative arrangements can be made to mitigate any further delays,” says Cutts.

According to both Parekh

and Cutts, volumes from India are on an upward trajectory, with a slightly delayed peak season having just kicked in.

“With our aggressive sales strategy in place, we are upbeat about continued growth on the route,” said Parekh.

A month after being informed that dangerous goods tankers entering Zambia must comply with the country’s specific standards or face massive fines, South African operators are yet to be told what the standards are.

According to Gavin Kelly, spokesman for the Road Freight Association, they were informed by Zambian authorities of the two standards for dangerous goods tankers entering Zambia on September 10.

“We were told that all fuel tankers, both foreign and local, moving on Zambian roads would be required to be fully compliant with two standards (ZS 371 and ZS 429-4) that would be enforced by the Zambian Bureau of Standards (ZABS) and

that the new standards had already come into effect on September 1,” he told FTW. “But to date we have yet to see the Zambian Standards despite having asked for copies immediately.”

He said it was extremely difficult to comply with standards if one did not know what the standards were.

“This has a major impact

on any operators entering Zambia as they can be fined huge amounts of money if they are found to not be contravening the standards, but we can’t seem to find out

what they are.”He said last week an

RFA member was fined $50 000 for not meeting the requirements.

Authorities claimed the dangerous goods vehicle was still on the road after 6pm, which is why it was fined. But indications are that the driver was stopped just before 6pm and purposely prevented from travelling the extra kilometre to park safely and avoid the fine.

“He was told to park on the side of the road and could not drive the short distance to the town. The requirements seem to be very unreasonable at times and hard to argue against as we don’t have copies of the standards.”

Kelly said if the standards could be sourced it could very likely be that the Zambian standards are the same as South Africa. “Then

it really is just a storm in a tea cup, but at the same time, the standards could be very different and indications at the moment are that this is the case. Already South African operators are being stopped in terms of the new regulations and told they do not comply, but how are they supposed to know what to comply with?”

He said Zambian authorities had been present at a meeting in Pretoria in August organised by the Cross-Border Road Transport Agency and had made no mention of any new standards for dangerous goods tankers.

“This seems to be just another money-making racket aimed at South African operators,” he said. “We have called on our local authorities to apply the same measures to Zambian truckers entering South Africa and that

the Road Traffic Act be implemented against these vehicles to ensure they meet our regulations.”

According to a spokesman for ZABS, the documentation on the standards can be sourced from the information centre in Lusaka and at all the border offices.

“The measure has been put in place in the interests of protecting life, property and road infrastructure while guarding against environmental pollution in Zambia,” reads a statement by the organisation. “The measures have been necessitated by increased road traffic accidents, some of them involving fuel tankers, both local and foreign. As appreciated by all, these accidents do not discriminate on the basis of the origins of the fuel tanker.”

With the refurbishment of Transnet Freight Rail’s City Deep terminal in full swing, the rail utility has entered into an arrangement with SACD Freight to accommodate overflow import cargo.

“We extended our siding to accommodate a full block train and have been working with TFR to take overflow

volumes,” SACD Freight regional director Dennis Trotter told FTW.

“It’s taken some time to get going, but since last month we’ve been moving one block train a day from

Durban to our City Deep siding. We don’t dispatch from here but take the containers next door to the TFR terminal – so as far as the customer is concerned it was brought in by Transnet. There’s no change to the normal operation.”

Trial runs have been under way on a regular basis for some time in the lead-up to the current regular service.

With import volumes generally depressed at present, Trotter says one train a day adequately fulfils capacity demands.

“But as soon as volumes start picking up, we’ve got the night shift ready to move into action and we’ll be able to handle three trains a day for them if that’s required.”

According to Trotter, the arrangement is working well and could become a long-term solution even after refurbishment activity at

TFR has been completed.The additional business

has been welcome for the company, he added.

“We’re all feeling the effects of reduced volumes, particularly reduced commodities, with the commodity price being as low as it is.”

A reader’s complaint about Emirates’ decision “to downgrade the CPT-DBX route to its older A340-300 aircraft” from March 2013 onwards prompted a call to the airline.

“The A340-300,” our reader added, “has old-style seating in both first and business classes which is nowhere near up to modern standards.

“This was an ill thought out decision, and Emirates are clearly going to have lots of unhappy customers on their hands.

“There clearly is sufficient demand seeing that they are resuming twice daily flights again in 2013 – so this decision makes little sense.”

In response to our enquiry, Fouad Caunhye, Emirates’ regional manager

for Southern Africa, commented: “Emirates remains committed to serving the Cape Town route and providing passengers with a high quality experience.

“The decision to introduce the A340-300 aircraft does not compromise the experience. Passengers on the route have the choice of our first class, business class or economy class cabin comfort, cuisine and in-flight entertainment.”

And although Caunhye confirmed the resumption of twice daily flights, he made no comment on why Emirates had gone from the Boeing 777 to the Airbus A340-300.

“Most importantly,” he told FTW, “the introduction of the A340-300 will enable Emirates to resume its twice-daily service to the Mother City.”

In milestone development, Ethiopian Airlines has become the first airline on the continent to receive and operate a B777 Freighter.

According to the airline CEO, Tewolde GebreMariam, who took delivery of the aircraft on September 19 from Boeing at Everett in Washington, the acquisition of the aircraft and firm orders for several new modern aircraft is in line with the airline’s Vision 2025 strategic roadmap.

“The B777 Freighter has long-range capability, exceptional cargo uplift,

special capabilities in temperature control for fresh produce and life science materials, and fuel efficiency,” said GebreMariam. “As a result we will deploy it on longer routes for carriage of flowers, fruits and vegetables to expand and improve our cargo services.”

On September 20 the airline also took delivery of a 787 Dreamliner, another African first.

Ethiopian Airlines is already the largest cargo carrier in Africa, operating six dedicated freighter aircraft to 24 destinations

in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. In addition, it has substantial belly-hold capacity on its passenger network.

The B777F is the first of

six firm orders the airline placed in October 2011. It will receive its second B777F in October and the remaining four in 2014.

According to

GebreMariam, the delivery of the aircraft is good news for the fast-growing Ethiopian horticulture export sector which now has adequate capacity.

A new company has appeared on the SA general sales agents (GSA) scene, with Air Logistics having plans to make its mark in the air cargo industry, according to GM, Shawn McGuinness.

“October 1 was when we launched the Air Logistics service,” he told FTW, “and we have taken over Etihad Airways as our first

partner airline.“Although we are

newcomers to SA, our parent company is a leading GSA worldwide.”

The company’s plan is to set up new offices in Africa, with SA and Kenya the first national targets for the operation. Johannesburg-based Air Logistics will also be adding Air Seychelles to its airline partner stable from January 2013.

“We will be putting our proposals for other offices before the airlines as we go forward,” said McGuinness.

Air Logistics will be offering its GSA products for Eithad’s daily cargo service out of Johannesburg, with the airline having four morning flights and three in the afternoons. It flies the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which offers an average cargo capacity of 12 to 13 tonnes, McGuinness added.

Developing countries, which seemed to have escaped the worst of the world financial and economic crisis, are now being hit, with a knock-on effect on trade and transport volumes.

Case studies on Zambia, Benin and Cambodia show that “the recent economic and financial crisis severely weakened the abilities of many LDCs to maintain steady income and spending,” a United Nations Conference on Trade and development (Unctad) expert told the organisation’s Trade and Development Board recently.

Both exports and imports have fallen significantly since the boom of 2008.

For African countries, although showing an increase in export revenue overall, the bulk of earnings

is from oil, with exports of food and manufactured goods in particular falling.

The findings are contained in a report presented to the Board.

Teffere Tesfachew, director of the organisation’s division on Africa, said that in Zambia “it was estimated that the loss in mining production and reduced exports – which meant low royalty payments as well as temporary closure of some production activities – led the country to lose up to 22% of its government revenue between 2009 and 2010.”

He added that the largest copper mining company in Zambia had reported a 40% reduction in all supplier contracts.

Between June 2008 and June 2009, the total job loss in Zambia’s mining sector amounted to 30.4% of the total labour force engaged in mining.

The Cape Town airfreight market is straining under a lack of capacity following a recent decision by SAA to stop direct daily f lights from the city to London.

“Capacity is a major issue at present,” said Marius Small of Lonrho Logistics. He told FTW that they were at present having to f ly freight to London via Johannesburg.

“At this stage it does not have a cost implication but direct f lights are always preferable especially for the perishable market.”

Currently there is only one f light a day from Cape Town to London with British Airways.

“We are however very optimistic that the challenges we are facing at the moment will be

addressed when British Airways launches a second daily f light in October,” said Small. “Virgin Airways will also be introducing a new service between Cape Town and London during October which will add further

much-needed capacity.”While London at

present can be reached with other airlines such as Emirates and Qatar from Cape Town it is not really favoured as it is via other destinations.

“Many of our perishable

clients are not really in favour of f lying their products via several destinations and want the direct option,” said Small. “From Cape Town we need at least two f lights a day into London to satisfy the market demand.”

CT airfreight capacity under strainPerishable shippers compromised

Second daily CT flight on the cards this month.

Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba only learned of the resignation of the SA Airways (SAA) chairwoman and six board members through the media, his office said last week.

“We only found out about the resignations through the media. Our main focus is to ensure that SAA remains a national asset for both our economy and country,” Gigaba’s spokesman Mayihlome Tshwete said.

The focus by terminal operators on the more lucrative container trade in favour of breakbulk is impacting negatively on the breakbulk industry, according to Arie ter Veen, managing director of Africa Port Services.

“In West Africa the privatisation of terminals has led the terminal owners to enter the container business big time as it is more lucrative than breakbulk cargo,” he said.

The decision by government to see cargo moved out of ports more quickly has also impacted on the industry as the freight by its very nature is large and cumbersome and difficult to move – and the areas around the ports are often congested.

With the streets outside of Lagos a complete nightmare due to the horrendous traffic

jams caused by container trucks, getting cargo in and out of the port is often near impossible, he said.

“The move to reduce the time cargo spends in ports is a direct result of people using the port warehouses as free storage for their cargo because it is so difficult to get it out. But that has reduced the space for containers which had seen them being stacked ten high.”

He said to address this matter legislation had been changed restricting cargo dwell time in the port.

“Bureaucracy on the other hand sometimes stops cargo from moving out fast. Ultimately ports should have areas where cargo can be kept temporarily, but as containerisation grows and breakbulk becomes less important there is just no move towards ensuring such facilities.”

He said an additional challenge was the fact that very few ports had any space left to develop such facilities for project cargo or breakbulk.

According to Ter Veen, this was not a major issue in some of the more mature markets,

but if one looked at Angola it was clear that cargo was not flowing through the ports optimally.

“It takes a minimum of 30 days to clear anything in Angola, while it is not surprising to have cargo held

up for 90 days in the port due to bureaucracy. The solution in the entire west African region lies in establishing better relationships with authorities in an effort to reduce bureaucracy to move cargo faster.”

There is a place for trucks in the logistics future of South Africa, as a complement to rail transport, according to Iain Geldart, managing director of private company Bulk Connections, which manages two bulk berths at the Durban port.

“Is the move to rail South Africa’s answer?” he asked. “I don’t think you can do bulk without rail. But there is still room for improvement [for rail transport]. Otherwise we wouldn’t be getting 250 trucks a day into the [Durban] port.”

He said smart trucks, or the South African equivalent of Australia’s road trains, will become increasingly viable because these trucks are more environmentally friendly and kinder to the road infrastructure than

conventional trucks. “Truck companies will

become fewer and more focused,” he said. “If there is a future for road trucks it will be smart trucks.”

One drawback of smart trucks for the bulk commodities is that they are comparatively smaller than conventional trucks.

Nevertheless, the port of Durban is upgrading its facilities to receive both rail and truck consignments in the future. The port has just commissioned a new rotary tippler that turns and decants rail wagons in a matter of minutes. At the same time, the port remains capable of receiving over 200 trucks a day.

The port is also making an effort to expand its capacity to receive and stockpile more manganese ore, Geldart said.

‘Smart trucks’ the solution to inland haulage dilemma By Liesl Venter

Piracy remains one of the biggest threats to vessels moving project cargo along Africa’s West and East coasts.

Crew and cargo are often held hostage for long periods of time with the result that projects either come to a halt until the cargo can be delivered or they have to be re-sent from the point of origin.

This increases costs tremendously and can ultimately lead to business pulling out of the continent.

According to David Butler, managing director of Control Risks Southern Africa, piracy off the African coasts is far from under control.

“There have been 93 incidents – including 20 hijackings – this year alone,” he said. “In fact, around the Horn of Africa, piracy seems to be on the increase. We

have also seen a significant increase in piracy further down the coast as far as Mozambique.”

According to Butler, piracy has become a multimillion-dollar business in Africa. “The ransoms are high and they are being paid. The gains are therefore very lucrative. If the vessel and cargo owners don’t pay the ransoms demanded they run the risk of crew and cargo being held hostage for months and even years in some cases.”

One vessel and its crew has been held captive by Somalian pirates now for at least two and a half years and counting, said Butler. The bigger risk, however, is death.

“The pirates are getting more violent and less tolerant. We are seeing an increase in the violence against crews with some pirates even reneging

on deals struck through negotiations.”

He said while there had been fewer incidents of piracy off the Somalian coast in 2012, this could change in the very near future. “There has been less piracy as security has been at an all-time high, with many navy vessels patrolling the area. But as Europe continues to face economic woes, this could mean they will recall their navy vessels to save costs. That will have a negative impact.”

The SA Revenue Service (Sars) pilot scheme based at SACD Freight in Durban – aimed at a return to the old-style on-premises container inspections – has worked very smoothly in its first few weeks of operation, according to Lee Narsey, IT specialist at SACD.

“The new procedure, with an on-site customs team, has greatly increased the number of inspections that customs have been able to attend to each day, compared to the couple of hours each morning they used to spend at the depot,” Narsey told FTW. “Also, they have direct wireless contact with the Sars service manager inspection system through their I-pads when based at SACD.

“In terms of numbers, we’re certainly getting a faster turnaround.”

Narsey said that the new initiative was also making SACD’s internal preparations for container inspections much easier.

“Sars has been alerting us in advance so we’re able to make the appropriate arrangements – allowing us to place the containers in the appropriate parts of the warehouse, and to allocate in advance the necessary work teams for either an unpack/repack or

a tailboard inspection,” he added.

And that’s a rather crucial difference.

The full unpack is a time-consuming, labour-intensive operation, and has to be done in a secured facility. For these reasons a first level search is done only on high-risk or suspicious consignments. However Sars feels it is the most effective means of detection of contraband.

The so-called tailboard inspection is when the container doors are opened for an examination of only

the first one or two rows of goods. The contents of the rest of the container are not unloaded.

It is estimated that only 3% of goods are physically inspected after being screened by tailboard inspections or random spot checks.

The next step in the scheme is the roll-out to the plethora of other depots around the country. But this is not going to be an easy exercise – and there’s some debate about when this will actually take place.

The major problem at depot level is the vastly varying sizes of each of them. There are the big depots that would make an in-house customs team a viable proposition – and all within spitting distance of each other. But, more widespread, are all the much smaller operations, and these hardly have the numbers to justify a customs team, nor the spare cash to finance premises and their services for the inspectors.

That throws a problem at Sars. And along with that, according to members of the freight industry, is the relatively low skills-level of customs inspectors – which makes skills training in the wireless connectivity and equipment of the new initiative a vital concern for Sars.

All of this makes planning for the roll-out a slow and necessarily complex issue, with all the problems having to be carefully worked out before a date for roll-out can de decided.

This was revealed at last week’s Sars forum in Durban – a regular get-together with the freight industry, which is designed to sound out the various activities and problems at customs, and between them and sectors of the industry.

Maritime safety was the theme of Maritime Day on September 27 this year – marking 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic on April 14, 1912.

The Titanic tragedy prompted major shipping nations of the world to take decisive action and adopt, two years later, the first ever International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea and ultimately to establish the International Maritime Organisation.

“Each new generation of vessels brings fresh challenges, reinforcing the need for continual improvement.” IMO secretary general Koji Sekimizu, said.

“To this end we are planning a two-day symposium at IMO headquarters in London in conjunction with IMO’s Maritime Safety

Committee next June on the future of ship safety,” he said.

“The idea is to go beyond the current safety issues under the Committee and rigorously consider the future of maritime safety. The objective is for the discussions to contribute to the future advancement of the organisation’s maritime safety policy,” he said.

Celebrating the day in Johannesburg last week were the members of the TBN Club, a bi-monthly gathering for those employed by ship owners, ship brokers and ships’ agents, conceived by Paul Clark and Rod Eaton a decade and a half ago. Its aim is to promote better communications and raise funds for charities like the National Sea Rescue Institute and The Missions to Seafarers.

In line with its mission to expand its presence in emerging markets, DSV has signed an agreement to acquire the Swift Freight group of companies for an undisclosed sum.

The transaction was effective from October 1 and both parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

Dubai-headquartered Swift Freight has 36 offices spread across 15 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia and was established in1989.

The purchase agreement

includes 100% ownership of the companies in the UAE, China and India and a 33% share of ownership of the companies in Africa. DSV is expected to assume full ownership of the African entities over an agreed period of time.

In the 12 African countries where Swift is represented, the operational name will be DSV Swift. Warren Erfmann, CEO of Swift Freight, will continue as regional CEO of all DSV Swift activities in Africa.

(October 3).Three Cash-In-Transit member companies have signed an agreement with the Motor Transport Workers’ Union (MTWU) members. The RFEA however stressed this agreement was not sanctioned by them or any of the unions, while the MTWU general secretary was also distancing himself from the agreement.

The RFEA believes that the conduct of these companies undermines the road freight collective bargaining forum and has opposed their conduct.

“Whatever settlement is eventually reached will also apply to CIT, since it will be the only agreement that will be enforceable once promulgated and extended by the Minister of Labour,” said Brown-Engelbrecht.

And as the countrywide strike by thousands of truck drivers entered its second week, there was concern over the impact on deliveries of food, fuel and steel.

Some petrol tank drivers have joined the strike, according to transport union South African Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu). The SA Petroleum Industry Association warned that there could be some delays to fuel deliveries if the strike continued.

Steel producers have also said that deliveries to

customers could be affected if a resolution is not found soon.

“For the moment, I don’t see the strike hitting our deliveries to customers,” a spokesman for South Africa’s largest steelmaker, ArcelorMittal South Africa, said. “People would be consuming from their stocks. But if the strike continues, Amsa will need to look at how to get stock out to merchants.”

If there are delays in steel deliveries and stocks at end users run low, it could delay construction projects and adversely affect industries like the automotive sector.

Because trucks deliver food to stores and fuel to service stations, the national strike of truck drivers could bring the South African economy to a standstill.

Workers are demanding a 12% pay rise. The RFEA has made a revised offer of 8.5%, but the union has not

agreed to this revised offer. The strike, which started

on September 25, escalated into violence in the Western Cape, parts of Gauteng where truck drivers were blocking roads, as well as in Durban.

SERVING SOUTH AFRICA FOR 25 YEARS

Celebrating

the arrival of our

101st truck!

By Alan Peat

Cargo Carriers, one of SA’s major trucking operations, has been hard hit by the strike.

According to marketing director, Andre van Vuuren, the company has a high level of union membership, and, therefore, a large number of their people are involved in the action.

“A certain percentage is willing to work,” he told FTW, “but, because of intense intimidation, this is a big problem.”

Geographically, he added, this intimidation and violence are at their worst in Gauteng. “The coastal operations are less affected,” he said.

Van Vuuren agreed with the other commentators that talked to FTW, (see

article on page 1), saying that fuel and steel were high on the hit list, noting that Cargo’s fuel and steel operations were “severely affected”.

The good news came from Kevin Barron, Cargo’s e-cargo trader and procurement manager. The company’s cross-border operations, he told FTW, were not too badly affected.

As to the on-going talks between the freight transport employers’ association (FTEA) and the union, Van Vuuren expressed the fear that the unions’ resistance up to now might suggest that they wanted the strike to take full effect before they reached a settlement. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens this week,” he said.

‘intimidation keeps willing workers at home’

They also strongly suggested that Socikwa and Morwe were also not really “performing” although TPT and TNPA are big profit-generating operations. But, they stressed, this was largely because any cost increases are more than covered by an annual upward revision of their tariff levels – only restrained in recent years by the control imposed by the SA Ports Regulator.

Our contacts point out that the operations display no annual increases in productivity or general efficiency, which continue to remain at a low level.

But it’s a different matter in the private sector.

Said one of the company’s annual reports: “The committee reviews bonuses annually and determines the level of the bonus based on performance criteria set at the start of the performance period. The criteria differ depending on the position of each executive and the division in which they operate and include headline earnings per share and divisional operating profit growth targets; return on invested capital targets; black economic empowerment and discretionary elements.

This led to the following salary plus bonus figures for our two selected CEs.

One received a salary of R4 901 000, and a bonus of R3 950 000, giving a total of R9 281 000.

In the second case, the exec received a salary of R4 618 000 and bonus of

R4 391 000 – totalling R9 009 000.

But they both also got another benefit not granted to the Transnet CEs – a share rights issue each year.

But again, this was not a free perk. It was again very strictly determined by the executives’ performance.

Said the annual report:

“Vesting of share rights is subject to performance conditions being met. The performance conditions and performance period are determined by the board on an annual basis in respect of each new grant of rights.”

And this share rights issue brought the executives’ annual remuneration above par with those of Transnet.

In the case of the first executive, his share

rights were vested at the equivalent of R2 916 000, added to the previous total of R9 281 000 – bringing his total annual income up to R12 197 000.

In the case of the second the formula read: R10 176 000 + R1 251 000 = R11 427 000.

But it’s at lower level employees that the public sector is vastly overpaid.

One in eight South Africans works for the public sector and earns on average 44% more than employees in the private sector, according to a recent survey released by the SA Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR).

According to the survey, 13% of South Africa’s workforce is employed in the public sector. This equates to 1.61 million out of the total 12.8m people employed nationally.

“In 2000, average public sector earnings were 12% higher than those in the private sector. In 2010, they were 44% higher,” said researcher Lucy Holborn.
