FULL-STEAM AHEAD PREFACE Thami Ntshingila has assumed the helm at the Port of Durban after a stint as the Richards Bay port manager. In his words he is a methodical person who works steadfastly towards achieving his goals.
The Port of Durban is the country’s most prominent and plays a major role as the economic gateway for Africa. As the lifeblood for exports and imports, it is instrumental in growing the economy, connecting our industrial zones with the world. Annually

container trade, over 520000 vehicles, 30 million tons of bulk, 7 million tons of general cargo and 12000 vessels move through the port. There are few who will dispute that the global recession has profoundly affected the economy and the port. The continued euro zone crisis, the slowdown in Chinese growth and general economic issues have affected port revenues. However, every challenge is only an opportunity awaiting

Rationalising the harbour is not as easy would seem like something out of Dante’s Inferno. But for Transnet officials, Dante’s Inferno is just another day at the office. Durban harbour is not a static place, it is a living, breathing space filled with people, machinery, vehicles, infrastructure, buildings and equipment. It has an influence far beyond its own perimeter as its traffic goes out onto city roads and then national highways. Its trains link it with other cities by rail. It employs thousands of people. Vessels of every type come and go, creating a living network of people, cargo and business. It is constantly being changed, modified, upgraded, expanded and re-planned. The most recent major upheaval in the port was the recently-completed widening of the harbour channel, a three-year, R3 billion

anything else. That is why the Durban Port Fire Department submits itself to regular fire drills. The building is about to go up in flames. Thick smoke pours from the blackened doors of the four-storey tower. Panicked shouts from the third floor indicate someone is trapped inside. In the Port of Durban Fire Station, a bell rings, a siren starts to wail, and a fire-truck rushes to the scene. Two fire crews are already kitted up in their fire-retardant uniforms, tanks of air on their backs, helmets on their heads. While one crew unrolls hoses and connects them to the fire hydrant, the lead fire fighter cautiously approaches the door from the side.

‘The risks are huge’ He waits for water in the hose, feels the door for heat, pushes it open and he and his assistant disappear inside. A water cannon mounted on the roof of the fire truck gushes a four-storey stream of water at the top of the building. The victim is rescued, the fire is brought under control, and another emergency fire drill for the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) fire department has been successfully completed. ‘Safety in a port is vastly different to fire safety in a city,’ says Cyril Kistasamy. As the Port Fire Chief he heads the Durban Port Fire Department – key to the port’s fire safety. ’In the city you have houses, shopping centres and parks. In a port you have petrochemical storage tanks, industrial processes, flammable goods, ships with cargo, heavy vehicles, containers and warehouses. The risks in a port are huge.’

SCHOOL OF PORTS FEMALE STUDENTS TELL IT ALL: ‘I was the only woman with 26 men for six months’
PREFACE Nearly half the students at Transnet School of Ports (SoP) are women, and among its previous graduates are Precious Dube, Bongi Mbambo and Pinky Zungu. Apart from being the world’s first three licensed female pilots, these ladies have become role models to today’s generation of female students. WRITER Patricia McCracken
Like most of the SoP’s female students, they all have found their way here through high school and tertiary maritime studies courses: Sanele Dlamini (25) and Zandile Mdletshe (29), both from eSikhawini in Richard’s Bay; Cebile Dlamini (27) from Nkwelazane in Empangeni; and Noluthando Khuzwayo (24) from Clermont, Durban. Between them, these young women have already discovered how this career can take them to West Africa, Spain, England, Japan and even Australia.

P PORT Q&A, School of Ports
Why did you choose this career? ZM: I moved to a new high school and the only class with space at the time was maritime studies. I was immediately interested when I saw the ropes, charts and ships in the classroom. When did you start? CD: I became a trainee deckhand on a tugboat in 2006, and I then had the opportunity to become a bursary cadet in 2008. My four-yearold son is at home with my grandmother, who did not approve of my career choice. But now my family is beginning to see that it is making me independent. They are starting to come around. Cebile Dlamini
What certificate are you studying for? NK: The others are already qualified deck officers and I will complete my oral exams for that certificate very soon – I already have a maritime studies diploma from Durban University of Technology. We are all studying now for a tug master certificate and I would love one day to become a pilot. I have a fouryear-old son and a partner. He knew about my career when we met, so he is used to it.

Sanele Dlamini (SD), Zandile Mdletshe (ZM), Cebile Dlamini (CD) and Noluthando Khuzwayo (NK) are all studying at the School of Ports for their tug master certificate.

What is your favourite memory? SD: I am the first in my family to go to sea and my parents were really scared I would drown. So it was great to do shorter coastal voyages to Namibia and make them happy with stories of how beautiful our country looks from the sea.
Sanele Dlamini
What is the most interesting part of SoP? SD: Using the ship-handling simulator for a search-and-rescue exercise was a real eyeopener – it is complicated to work as a team in those conditions. The studying here is hectic and the hand-outs can seem like an overload, but they make sense after you have gone through them properly. We would be lost on a tug without the information we are taught here. What is your job’s biggest challenge? ZM: The long voyages, especially my first one as a cadet officer of the watch. I was the only woman on the vessel, with 26 men for six months and two weeks! Fortunately, the second time Zandile was on board as well. But it is also wonderful to see different places and learn about different cultures. I loved Trieste in Italy because we had three whole days to explore the food, the lovely buildings and look

P PORT Q&A, School of Ports
SCHOOL OF PORTS HEAD’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE PREFACE Errol Erradu (49) became senior manager of the Transnet School of Ports in 2008. His job comes with one of Durban’s best office views, overlooking the Congella Basin’s mangrove-fringed Suez Channel. These vistas also remind him of the daunting task of leading Transnet’s in-house educational strategy to correct South Africa’s historical imbalance in maritime skills. WRITER Patricia McCracken

DURBAN This year’s ‘Take a Girl Child to Work Day’ saw a host of young female learners experience the port operations first-hand. The national initiative aims to offer a wide range of career choices to girls while developing and channelling them for future employment options. The 2012 project enabled 265 learners from grades 10 to 12 nationally to get a sneak peek into the maritime world. In Durban, participants came from
TNPA chief executive officer Tau Morwe said the organisation’s participation aimed to show young women that they had equal opportunities in the maritime industry, an arena previously dominated by men. The initiative coincided with TNPA’s transformation campaign by providing educational opportunities in pure mathematics, science and English and skills development to ambitious, adventure-seeking learners from disadvantaged backgrounds. – (NJ)
Born in Eshowe, the Port of Durban’s acting marine-operations manager studied at the Netherlands Maritime University in Rotterdam, where a master’s programme in shipping and transport equips students to fulfil senior management positions within the industry. Mkhabela studied for a diploma in management before joining Portnet (now TNPA) in 2000. She has since worked in ports around the country. In 2003, she was appointed marine fleet operations manager in the Port of Durban and in 2010 was nominated for a scholarship in Rotterdam. ‘Young women must not be afraid to explore all available opportunities – that’s when learning happens, allowing them to grow in their careers,’ she said. – (NJ)
