Weight misdeclaration remains a thorny issue for carriers By Alan Peat Shipping lines are continuing to battle the perennial problem of misdeclaration of container weights – a problem that disrupts ships’ stowage plans and could ultimately threaten the vessel’s safety. And it’s an issue that was highlighted for the SA shipping industry in more recent times

with the grounding of the fully container-laden MSC Napoli, a ship bound for SA when hull damage threatened her safety in heavy seas off the south-east coast of England. At the time, Christine Barringer, head of the transportation section at the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said there were a “shocking” number of

R36m bonanza for Ngqura By Ed Richardson The port of Ngqura last Friday took delivery of two R36-million rail-mounted cranes that will transfer containers between road vehicles and rail trucks in the harbour’s rail terminal. “Due to the immense size of the cranes and the fact that they are being delivered virtually assembled, it would have been physically impossible to land at the neighbouring Port

Elizabeth harbour and deliver overland. With equipment of this nature, it can only be landed at the terminal at which it will be installed and used,” said business unit executive at Ngqura container terminal, Hector Danisa. The 720 ton and 3 2616 m3 consignment included two fully erect rail-mounted gantry cranes weighing 660 tons in total, as well as small assembly parts, tools, consumables and breakbulk cargo.

misdeclared containers. “Of the ones they were able to weigh, 20% were more than three tonnes different from their declared weight. The largest single difference was 20-t and the total weight of 137 containers was 312-t heavier than on the manifest.” The only answer, according to some of the lines, was to introduce a misdeclaration

penalty fee – hoping that this would force shippers to focus on declaring correct container weights. And the problem that has to be highlighted, according to David Williams, SA MD of Maersk Line, is that it’s mostly an accidental mistake, the result of human failure, rather than a deliberate attempt to save money on freight costs.

“It’s almost always an error in the paperwork,” he told FTW, “rather than deliberate malfeasance. At about the time, but not because of, the Napoli incident, MSC introduced a misdeclaration penalty charge applied in two cases. One where the client exceeds the plate weight of the container, To page 12

DUTY CALLS A weekly summary of the main changes to the South African tariff dispensation and amendments to customs and Initiating a Tariff Investigation – The First Step In the trying times in which businesses find themselves the obvious objective, other than to maintain their existing client base, is to consider ways of reducing costs. One of the obvious costs is that of tariffs, also known as customs duties, import duties or import taxes. Any business that wants to invest in its future should be investigating the reason for a customs duty(ies) being imposed on either the products that it manufactures or that it imports. Thus the first step on the road is to determine the reason for the imposition of the customs duty in the first place. In essence you will need to establish what I call Tariff History which is easily accessible via the internet. A Tariff History enquiry should at least date from 01 January 1988, the date when the Harmonised System came into operation in South Africa and the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), to the present. It is possible to get

access to Tariff History prior to this date, but it is unlikely that the cost would be justifiable, or even worth it. Once you have accessed the Tariff History you will have the true reasoning and motivation behind the tariff dispensation, in other words the prevailing rate of customs duty. These are the facts and do not rely on the memory of others. You will not have access to past reports and notices which detail the Tariff History. You are now in a position to move to the next step in your quest to initiate a tariff investigation, which I call Trade Insight, and which will be detailed in next week’s column.

Survey outlines truck stop requirements on Walvis Bay Corridor Driver fatigue and security are two prime issues for truckers hauling cargoes to and from the Namibian Port of Walvis Bay along the far reaches of the corridors linking Namibia with its overborder neighbours. This has motivated an extensive feasibility study on potential truck-stops on these routes, conducted by a student team from the Worcester

Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts, USA, on behalf of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG). And the findings have seen WBCG supporting the establishment of truck stops along the Walvis Bay corridors as a matter of priority, according to business development officer, Agnetha Mouton.

The goal of the project, according to the students’ report, was to determine what services should be available for truck drivers along Namibia’s northern corridors – and to recommend potential locations that would be best for installation of these services. It was also to establish a means by which to analyse

the expansion capacity of service stations, and outline the benefits of a truck-stop system. Gilbert Boois, who handles WBCG’s projects and funding, told FTW that the initial sites identified, using the study as the guideline, are developing current service stations at Gobabis on the trans-Kalahari corridor; Oshikango on the

trans-Cunene corridor; Katima Mulilo on the trans-Caprivi corridor; and within Walvis Bay itself. Boois also expects to see the current truck-stop operator in Windhoek making a R28-million extension to his present premises to add full truck servicing facilities, and bring it up to WBCG standards.

PAG acquires freight recruitment specialist

Samantha Konkol … heading up new division.

Staffing provider the Professional Assignments Group (PAG), a member of the JSE-listed Kelly Group, has acquired freight recruitment specialist EMK Staffing Solutions to spearhead its entry into the freight, forwarding and clearing sector. EMK Staffing Solutions will now operate as a wholly owned division of PAG, focusing exclusively on comprehensive staffing solutions for the freight forwarding and clearing

industry, covering all areas of the intermodal transportation industry including road, rail, air and shipping as well as imports, forwarding and clearing. Samantha Konkol, the founder of EMK, who has over 16 years’ experience in the freight industry, will head up the newly established freight recruitment division. PAG managing director Lawrence Wordon said that EMK’s clients would now be able to benefit from additional

staffing services not previously available to them such as fixed term contract staffing, temporary staffing and access to services provided by its sister companies in the Kelly Group stable such as payroll and benefit administration. For EMK’s candidates, the benefits now include a provident fund, medical aid schemes and access to a 24-hour employee wellness programme. “PAG’s goal is to gain recognition as a recruitment

partner of choice in the industry,” said Wordon. Konkol said she was keen to grow the business through PAG’s strategically positioned national footprint, 33 years of brand recognition and access to the infrastructure of a JSElisted company. “In addition, my clients will now benefit from PAG’s traditional recruitment strengths such as access to a quality database of skilled financial management and technical candidates,” she said.

Industry heavyweights offer advice on surviving the recession

Stats SA to reinstate monthly roadfreight survey

More than 210 delegates turned up for last week’s Road Freight Association annual general meeting in Vanderbijlpark where surviving the recession was a central theme. FTW’s Liesl Venter filed these reports. The South African trucking industry should go back to basics if they want to survive the current economic storm. This was the advice from trucking heavyweights at the annual Road Freight Association Conference in Vanderbijlpark last week. While Rand Merchant Bank economist Rudolf Gouws told delegates the current economic downturn was a global phenomenon not just affecting South African companies, experts advised companies to manage their businesses conservatively during the coming months while doing everything possible to ensure cash flow. Jo Grove, CEO of Unitrans Holdings, said there was no question that the country was in a recession. “Our approach has been to go back to basics. And while many might argue that we are a big

public company with money in the bank, I believe this should be the approach of all in this industry regardless of size – one truck or a hundred. You have to go back to basics.” He said it had become clear that banks were too afraid to even lend money to each other never mind to truckers and therefore there was no other choice but to run the business at present as conservatively as possible. “We are managing our business aggressively in terms of capital expenditure and yes in this industry that is very difficult to do, but you have to manage it as tightly as possible. Sweat the assets and don’t even consider expanding at present.” Peter Mountford, Super Group’s divisional CEO of group supply chain division, said the next few months were expected to be even tougher and strong balance sheets would go

a long way to seeing companies through. Said Thinus Erasmus, CEO of Imperial Logistics Transport and Warehousing: “Good maintenance plans must be in place as fleets are being run for longer while diesel usage must be managed. Fuel management is very important and it must be as efficient as possible. The best advice is to push hard on fuel, tyres and maintenance.” Erasmus said in these turbulent times cash was going to remain king and companies should remember that.

With the South African economy probably more dependent on roadfreight transport than any other in the world, there is no doubting the importance of being able to measure freight volumes. Vincent Parker, senior statistician at Statistics South Africa, told delegates at the annual Road Freight Association conference in Vanderbijlpark last week that with Gauteng being the only major industrial centre in the world not situated on

a waterway, the country’s economic hub remained extremely reliant on road transport. “South Africa contributes 0.4% of the global GDP, with the volume of land freight transport in South Africa being about 2.2% of the global total.” He said for this reason the information on the cost of transport and the cost per unit remained essential not only to understand but also manage the economy. “The Department of Transport needs data on volumes in order to plan and maintain the road network,” he said. “South Africa has no official statistics on road freight volumes. The CSIR publishes annual estimates of road freight volumes, but these estimates are not regarded as official.” According to Parker the main obstacle to declaring the estimates official is that the estimates have no measure of variance. He said in an attempt to address the problem around the measurement of freight volumes a monthly survey of road transport that was discontinued in 2003, is set to be reinstated in coming months.

‘Truckers must prepare for move to rail’ South African truckers must keep an open mind about moving cargo to rail if they want to survive turbulent economic times, but also move into the future. “We need to think about when rail does become effective,” said Peter Mountford, divisional CEO of

Super Group’s supply chain division. “And with so much focus on the development of rail, all indications are that rail will once again be effective and we should be ready.” Speaking during a panel discussion on how the road freight industry can survive the tough economic times,

trucking industry experts agreed there were challenges facing the road freight industry, but keeping an open mind and preparing for it was far better than a head-in-thesand-approach. “Let’s face it, particular products should be on rail and that is necessarily bad for us

in the road freight industry,” said Thinus Erasmus, CEO of Imperial Logistics Transport and Warehousing. “It is not all doom and gloom.” Gerhard van der Horst, CEO of Crossroads Distribution agreed, pointing out that possibly the biggest problem was the uncertainty around rail

development in the country. “We don’t know how long it is going to take, but we do know that it is going to happen. As an industry we must prepare for that and be ready. It is important that we have the right systems in place and that we can work with rail, not against it.”

‘No need for business to worry about Zuma presidency’ – political analyst South Africans should learn what to worry about and not sweat the small stuff. This was the advice from political analyst and journalist, Justice Malala, at the annual Road Freight Association Convention in Vanderbijlpark last week. “People are all up in arms over what Julius Malema is saying and the insults being slung between the ANC Youth League and the DA leader Helen Zille. These are not issues that should be of concern,” he said. “Instead we

FTW1697SD

should be worrying about the closing of the Scorpions, the attack on the justice system and the John Hlope case, which are all matters that are extremely worrying.” Speaking about the political climate in South Africa, Malala said there was much to be optimistic about and that not all was lost following the election of Jacob Zuma as president of the country. “Max Sisulu has a masters degree in economics from the Soviet Union and has steered the ANC economic policy to

where it is today. He also runs Ukhamba Holdings. He has just been announced the new speaker of Parliament. Why would he want to derail all of his hard work now?” said Malala. “Jacob Zuma is not as dim as people make him out to be. All indications are that the conservative fiscal and monetary policies will remain in place for the time being.” He said President Zuma was being watched by the international world and following the peaceful elections there was politically no need

FTW1643SD

for business to worry. “Of course the President must repay the debts to the people that have brought him to power and he will need to address the issues around service delivery. There is restlessness on the ground that he will have to take into account. He has said he will only be in office for one term – he is going to have to make that time count.” Justice Malala ... much to be optimistic about.

Corridor strategy will align with stakeholder needs Mark Gregg-Macdonald has moved into the newly created role of group executive for freight corridors at Transnet Port Terminals. In this interview with FTW’s Joy Orlek he spells out the challenges and the way forward. FTW: What is the background to the corridor strategy – why is it so important, what was the motivation and what are the important issues involved? TPT: Part of the Transnet growth strategy is to adopt a corridor approach for key commodity flows – the objective is to remove bottlenecks and inefficiencies from the corridor to maximise throughput. FTW: Integration between port and rail appear to be a key ingredient – your comments on how this will be achieved. What are the challenges, what progress

has been made? TPT: Integration between customer, port and rail is critical – long-term expansion plans, daily planning and operations, maintenance shutdowns etc all need to be fully aligned to ensure the corridor runs as efficiently as possible. The Sishen to Saldanha corridor (iron ore) has been managed as a corridor for the past few years and has proved to be successful – in April 2009 a new record of 4.5 million tons was exported. The Richards Bay corridor GM, Graham Braby, has only been in place for a few months but we have already seen the improvement in coal export operations. FTW: Is the corridor strategy based on overseas models? TPT: There are numerous examples overseas where the mine, the rail link and the port operation are all owned by one company which results in

natural alignment, with all three legs working towards the same objective. In some cases the entire infrastructure is dedicated to the single product of the applicable mine. In South Africa our primary corridors are complex in that numerous train configurations are needed to transport different products and passengers on the same line. It is within this complex environment that the corridor teams are seeking to improve efficiency by focusing on the end-to-end process of specific commodity flows. FTW: To what extent are your plans informed by the needs of stakeholders – how are they involved in the process? TPT: Our plans need to be fully aligned with the needs of stakeholders and achievement of this is part of our role. The efficiency of mine operations and their load-out stations has a direct impact on

Mark Gregg-Macdonald ... removing bottlenecks. Transnet operations and vice versa. Most of the expansion programmes in this industry require a lead time of years so it is imperative that planning for port, rail and customers is fully aligned. FTW: Your priorities in your new position – the immediate

challenges. What are the first steps in the process? TPT: We are presently in the process of recruiting the corridor teams. We are focusing on four primary corridors: RBayCor (Coal fields to Richards Bay) NatCor (Gauteng to Durban) CapeCor (Gauteng to Cape Town) Sishen (Sishen to Saldanha Bay) Key commodity flows are export coal, domestic coal, iron ore, container traffic on rail The teams’ key focus is to ensure a coordinated approach to planning, investment and operational strategies within each corridor. This requires alignment between Transnet’s operating divisions and the requirements of customers utilising the channel. The teams will track volume flows from source through to the port for export and vice versa, unlocking bottlenecks and creating a culture of continuous improvement in the system.

Risk management helps cut costs for truckers By Liesl Venter Never before has risk management been as important to the trucking industry as in the current economic times, says Sean Jackson, managing director of Trucktek. “Companies often don’t see the value of assessing their risk and it is definitely a grudge purchase as it does not necessarily affect the immediate bottom-line.” But, says, Jackson, more often than not, investing in a proper risk management system means

exactly that – more money. “It is about taking a broader approach and looking at what the risks are and how one can overcome them effectively. When you look at your business holistically and implement the necessary tools designed especially around your individual needs, the impact on the company bottom-line is huge.” Specialising in risk management of fleets regardless of their size, Jackson says it is imperative that a fleet manager find a system that works for the individual. “One of the fleet

management systems that can be used via a cellphone or a laptop not only alerts you to a drop in fuel but allows you to cut the fuel line because of a flat tyre that the driver of a big rig may not even be aware of.” Jackson says knowing where risk is costing you money is what makes the difference. “Whether it be fuel theft or just that your trucks are not functioning at an optimum level due to bad shock absorbers – addressing the risk is a sure way of cutting costs as you can actually take the necessary precautions.”

According to Jackson, often risks are not taken into account resulting in huge financial losses that could have been prevented by better management. “Putting proper systems and units in place to ensure that your fleet is being managed at its optimum level and that risks are being curtailed not only minimises costs, but also ensures a more efficient service.”

Sean Jackson ... broader approach.

Vacant warehouses on the rise … and keen prices are the order of the day By Alan Peat The freight trade press in Europe, and particularly the UK, have been carrying lead stories on the volumes of available freight warehouse and office space that has flooded the market since the start of the global crisis. Not only have they been reporting vacant, currently unwanted space, but also the virtual demise of the spec building market in warehouse depots in particular – as freight companies slap the brakes on future capacity investment, with their volume turnovers going for a loop. Is this the same case in SA? FTW asked David Alcock of major SA property management company Broll for his views in the matter. The best illustration of the SA freight property market, he said, was Broll’s own graphs for warehouse space availability, and the unit rentals achieved. “Although it’s only an

indicator,” Alcock added, “it gives a representative reflection of the overall market movement.” With the global crisis having hit its peak in about August last year, the figures show the before and after effects on the vacancy levels in the national industrial market. Looking at large warehouses of 2 000-m2 plus in size, the Broll statistics showed a vacancy of 300 000-m2 in the first quarter of 2008. It went on a steady upward curve from there, to hit 600 000-m2 in the first quarter of this year. Gross rentals achieved in the Gauteng industrial nodes for these large warehouse units, meantime, was at R38/m2 in the first quarter of 08; rising to R42/m2 in the third and fourth quarters; then starting on a downward move back to R40/m2 by the first quarter of 09. The reason for this drop, said Alcock, is primarily that the prices of major building

Public holiday glut continues to vex industry The holiday happy month of April has come and gone, leaving lots of SA businesses shaken by loss of productivity due to staff adding justified leave-time to multiple weeks already shortened by public holidays falling on Fridays and/or Mondays. The now famous, extended-Easter vacation is a hoary old problem, according to Keith Brebnor, CEO of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI), and one that has remained without resolution up to now. “Every time that the chamber tries to have the thing amended,” he said, “all that happens is….more holidays”, referring to the election day this year, for example, and a recent double holiday being instituted because two traditional public holidays fell on the same date. There’s also a matter of hesitancy for the JCCI in taking any sort of stronger stance on the issue, Brebnor added. “Some of our industry members lose,” he said, “and some gain. “In the latter category, tourism, catering, the leisure and the petroleum industries all benefit as more people holiday, and we cannot take a stance without taking their interests into account.” With this in mind, Brebnor added, the JCCI is looking to decide how to find a balanced answer to the problem

of extendable holiday periods in the year. However, with traditional religious holidays also intervening, it makes it even less easy to solve. “It’s right across the religious spectrum,” he said, “with Christian, Moslem and Jewish religious days all falling within this same period of the year.” It was also hinted to FTW that Business Unity SA (Busa) had been considering the matter, although no official comment was made available to us. However, it is believed that Busa general policy on such an issue would also see it having to take a balanced view between the win-winners and the loselosers in the extended vac situation. Extrapolating on what appears to be Busa’s guidelines on the subject, two problems have to be recognised – those of industrial productivity and of labour interests. When staff shortages occur because of extended leave-taking, industry obviously suffers, while there is little doubt that employees need and enjoy leave, and both these interests have to be taken into account. But, apart from this necessary balancing act, FTW could gain no hint of any possible answer from the industry body.

The new cabinet – what now? As the new cabinet rolls up its sleeves and gets down to business, what should its first priorities be? Industry leaders offer their views on the challenges facing the new ministers of transport, trade and industry and public enterprises.

Barbara Hogan – Minister of Public Enterprises.

Rob Davies – Minister of Trade and Industry.

S’ bu Ndebele – Minister of Transport.

Transport: S’bu Ndebele achieving the status of a truly maritime nation. Moreover, he must drive greater co-operation between Ministries such as DTI, DPE, Labour and Finance. Q: What is his first priority? Review the various committees/working parties/ task teams and rationalise such entities to enable greater emphasis on specific outputs. Q: If you had his ear for a minute, what would you say? Please expand the passion you displayed for shipping in Kwa-Zulu Natal (and

Durban) to a national level. We will fully support you and your department to establish South Africa as a truly maritime nation. Q: What is the one regulation that impedes your ability to do business? It would be unwise to point at a particular regulation in this regard. We would however appreciate speedier resolution of issues such as shipping register (including tonnage tax, mortgage ranking etc) which require closer working relationships with other government departments.

Fred Jacobs - Safmarine corporate affairs director.

Q: What are the major challenges he faces? Creating awareness and understanding of the strategic importance of matters maritime to the economy of South Africa and ensuring greater emphasis, focus and delivery on the key issues in shipping and allied services. The importance of global shipping to the South African economy is reflected in the fact that we have a 3500 km coastline and that 90% of all imports and exports are carried by sea. The latter needs to be fully exploited towards

Public Enterprises: Barbara Hogan Alwyn Rautenbach, Airlink Cargo managing director. Q: What would be the first and most pressing priority for the minister? To privatise SAA so that it can pay taxes and dividends instead of being a drain on the treasury. Support Eskom to ensure the future of affordable electrical supply to South African industry. Appoint the best possible top management at other state enterprises like the SA Post Office etc. to improve efficiency, profitability and stop corruption. To move back to the principle of using these companies as a training ground for engineers, technicians and other types of scarce skills that could boost manufacturing and therefore exports in the future. Q: What are the biggest challenges facing the minister? Inefficiency, corruption and lack of skills.

Q: I f you had the Minister’s ear for a minute, what would you say? Please privatise SAA to enable normal competition in the airline industry.

Shippers should challenge lines’ bills of lading clauses Presentations at the recent Shippers’ Voice Seminars

Q: The one regulation from the ministry that impedes your ability to do business? To me it is the infrastructural issues rather than regulations that are the biggest constraint. If I had to choose – a quick, economical and reliable rail service would probably be the choice.

Q: What are the biggest challenges facing the minister? To arrest the sharp decline in manufacturing. Much of the ground work to determine the necessary interventions has been completed. What he needs to do now is to fast-track the process.

Q:I f you had the Minister’s ear for a minute, what would you say? All of the above. Nico Vermeulen, Naamsa executive director. Q: What would the first and most pressing priority be for the minister? From the perspective of the South African automotive

industry, there is a need for an effective, stable auto industry policy regime that facilitates further investment in auto parts and vehicle manufacturing in South Africa. This would support future growth and development of the industry which would be able to provide more employment for high level/skilled workers. The recently announced Automotive Production and Development Programme goes some way to meeting this need. The Department should also work with the industry and its stakeholders in developing a short-term package of measures to help the industry weather the extremely difficult domestic and international trading conditions.

Q: What would the first and most pressing priority be for the minister? To get the economy back on a long-term growth trajectory and to arrest the sharp decline in the manufacturing industry, particularly in those sectors with the great job-creating potential.

Q: The one regulation from the ministry that impedes your ability to do business? No one regulation, but the many regulations could be rationalised and simplified.

programme (CTCIP) is also in place, according to the department, and provided on an attractive cost-sharing basis. The capital upgrade programme is available to clothing, textiles and footwear manufacturers through the enterprise investment programme, and a highlight is that the International Development Corporation (IDC) will make preferential loans available at prime minus 5%. Tariff cuts also figure, with import duties removed on textile inputs not locally-manufactured or not available in commercial quantities. The global downturn is also taken into account, with the CSP including measures to allow the IDC to help fund firms in distress. The core programme for skills is designed to upgrade these skills in association with the sectoral education and training authority (Seta), the department of labour and the national skills fund.

(12-m) container. This EMF charge, which can be charged at Safmarine’s discretion, is currently being waivered.” Maersk also operates a misdeclaration fee where there is a discrepancy of around two tonnes between the booking instructions and the shipping instructions. But there seems to be some difference in the prevalence of misdeclaration on different trades. Although the UK and north-west continent (NWC) of Europe have all reported big problems with declared container weights, the Far East trade seems little bothered. Andrew Weiss of Mitsui OSK Line (MOL) commented: “We do have a fee but I don’t think we’ve ever implemented it. “There was one incident a few years ago, but it’s not a worry for us. That leaves the question of whether the penalty charge actually works. A couple of Maersk’s branches in SA do report that it is acting as a control on misdeclaration. “But,” said Williams, “it’s not going away, and the issue of discrepancy still exists.”

in resources was available to turn the sector around. And Barnes estimated that the recapitalisation of the industry, including investment in new equipment, advanced training and operational improvements, would cost about R15-billion – more than double the projection of R7-bn in the original sector programme drafted four years ago. But he said implementation of the plan was better late than never, as the cost to the economy of the industry shutting down would be far greater. The programme now finally presented by the department has four core elements, and it also outlines a number of support measures. The competitive element is covered by the clothing and textiles competitiveness programme aimed at putting a keen edge on manufacturers’ competitiveness.

Tariff cuts also figure, with import duties removed on textile inputs not locally-manufactured or not available in commercial quantities.

From page 1 and second, where they book a certain weight, then don’t ship that weight – a case on certain of the trades into SA. Safmarine's SA trades executive, Alex de Bruyn, suggested to FTW that the first step would be the line taking precautionary measures to curtail the weight discrepancies, for obvious safety reasons. However, he added, it does apply a WDF (weight discrepancy fee) when there is a difference between the booking weight, CTO (container terminal order) weight, and SI (shipping instruction) weight – currently a charge of US$50. “Safmarine is also required to comply with the statutory regulations governing the maximum payload of containers at both country of origin and destination,” De Bruyn said. “As such, the line cannot transport any containers that exceed load regulations (ie overloaded containers). “A cargo owner could therefore be held liable for a heavy weight surcharge (EMF) of US$100 for both a 20-foot (6-metre) and 40-ft

In a welter of publicity, the department of trade and industry has completed four years of intensive investigation into the needs of the clothing and textile sectors, and at long last officially launched the customised sector programme (CSP). “The industry is obviously delighted that it’s all been finally announced,” Brian Brink, executive director of the Textile Federation, told FTW, “although there’s nothing that we didn’t know already – and some of the programmes are already in operation. “Now other components and interventions have been added, they’ve strengthened the teams operating them, and we obviously welcome the department’s implementation.” The industry was also glad that all the areas normally at issue have been covered in the final CSP. “Investments, skills, illegal imports, tariffs, duties – they’re all considered,” said Brink, “although, again, most of these interventions have been under way for about a year now.” He also appreciated the sentiments behind comments about the necessary resources to turn around the ailing industry sectors, made by wellknown industry consultant, Justin Barnes – although not necessarily agreeing with the exact numbers he used. Barnes told Business Day that implementation of four core programmes – most of which will be administered by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) – will take immediate effect. But, he added, the department still had not revealed how much
