Transnet accused of double standards Minimal wage offer – and 12% tariff rise ‘not on’ By Alan Peat The major transport union, the SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union (Satawu), is sour at Transnet’s wage bargaining strategy, and has condemned the fact that it took them six weeks to shift from the original zero percent offer to the current “2% now and 2% in October” offer, according to Satawu policy and research officer, Jane Barrett. She also accused Transnet of delay tactics, and stalling each step in the bargaining council procedure until the conciliation stage – where the conciliator has now demanded

that both parties must look for a mandate on Transnet’s new, and first, offer, and present their answers this week (after FTW print deadline). And in this case, several private sector members of the freight industry appeared to agree with union thinking. Questioned by FTW before the final offer was revealed late last week, senior freight industry sources tended to agree with the union’s standpoint. This particularly related to the original Transnet offer of zilch, and in light of the fact that each of the company’s business units had imposed an across-the-board tariff increase from April 1 –

like the port terminals’ 12% a-t-b cargo handling tariff rise. “There’s an increased charge on cargo owners and inflation of 8%-9%, and they’re offering absolutely nothing to the workers,” said LM Pelser, executive director of the SA Shippers’ Council (SASC) – whose members are responsible for about 80% of the cargoes travelling through the SA port system. “They’re just not playing the game.” A Cape shipping industry source agreed about the pointlessness of Transnet pitching up at the negotiating table with nothing to offer.

whether the “senior executive” under suspension is port manager Ester Goosen, as has been reported in the PE Herald, quoting Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) insiders.

Although quizzed by FTW, Mboniso Sigonyela, Transnet’s external communications manager, had nothing more to communicate. The statement released earlier still stood, he said. The investigation is still

being continued, but Transnet has nothing to add beyond this confirmation. Meantime, a PE industry source told FTW there was evidence that Goosen was involved.

“We hear that she’s taking them (Transnet, or a subsidiary thereof) to court,” he said, “to hurry the lifting of the suspension.” FTW has been unable to trace Goosen herself.

DUTY CALLS Considering Initiating a Tariff Investigation – The Second Step Last week I discussed Tariff History (www.tariffhistory.co.za) – what I consider to be the first step in a tariff application. Once you have the Reports and Notices, which provide the true reasoning and motivation for the existence of the tariff dispensation, in other words the prevailing rate of customs duty (duty), you are ready to progress to step two. In South Africa one of the most overlooked aspects of international trade is the analysis of import and export statistics, more commonly known as trade statistics. It is critical for any business to take into account goods entering or leaving South Africa. How else do you account for international competition? If you leave it to the market to alert you to international competition, you may find yourself losing business much sooner than you expected. Trade Insight (www. tradeinsight.co.za) provides you with trade statistics on the value (South African rand value), the quantity (in which it is denominated), the unit price (South African rand value), and the country of origin

or destination. Once you have this information at your disposal you are able to manipulate it in order to derive maximum benefit from it. As an example you could determine the amount of customs revenue that the Government collects for a given tariff subheading. Depending on the type of duty, all you need to do is consider the quantity and value of the imported product. The prevailing rate of duty can be determined by consulting the Tariff Book (www.tariffbook. co.za). Through a relatively simple calculation you can now determine the amount of customs revenue collected by Government. Such information will be a vital part of the information in a tariff investigation. It’s also important to consider that the import statistics provide, through manipulation and calculation, the unit price of the imported products for the respective countries of origin. In addition, they also provide the quantity of goods imported from the respective countries. This information is also of critical importance in establishing the nature and extent of foreign competition, particularly

increased competition. You are now in a position to proceed to the next step in your quest to initiate a tariff investigation, which I call Tariff Book, and which will be detailed in next week’s issue. Tariff Applications and Tariff Amendments – 29 May 2009 There were no tariff applications (increase, reduction or rebate of the customs duty) and tariff amendments for 29 May 2009 published at the time of going to print. Certification of Origin – Exports to EFTA A letter was issued by Government titled Certification of Origin for Goods Exported to the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Countries – Southern African Customs Union (SACU) Origin. According to the letter, Article 2 of Annex V to the Free Trade Agreement between the EFTA and the SACU requires that certificates of origin/invoice declarations in respect of goods exported from SACU countries to EFTA countries reflect the origin of such goods as being of SACU origin and not that of the

individual member countries. In addition, EFTA countries have indicated that certificates/ invoice declarations reflecting the origin on individual countries already submitted before 12 May 2009 will still be accepted. Trade in Service Conference – 18 to 19 June 2009 The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) will host an International Trade in Services conference in Durban from 18-19 June 2009. The Conference will be a dialogue between trade negotiators, the industry, regulators and other government stakeholders to discuss critical trade policy and regulatory issues pertaining to trade in services. Services represent a dominant share of the global economy, accounting for 50 to 60% of economic activity. Nonetheless the international trade in services is only 20% of global trade.

FE-SA-West Africa service for June launch By Alan Peat With a new shipping service on the Far East-SA-West Africa trade, the Netherlands line, NileDutch – which has a nowhistoric relationship with West

Africa – is increasing its focus on what it sees as a burgeoning market in SA. In a joint-venture with the major Japanese shipping line, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), NileDutch has announced a

fortnightly service between Asia, SA and West Africa, starting June 17 with the arrival of the Commodore in Shanghai. The service will run between Shanghai, Shenzhen

(Shekou), Singapore, Durban, Lome, Tema and Lagos – with NileDutch and NYK each deploying two vessels of between 2 200-TEU and 2 700-TEU capacity. In an exclusive interview

with FTW, NileDutch’s Rotterdam-based liner director, Jan-Willem de Braal, said: “NileDutch, will be expanding its presence in West Africa by adding the new service to its current Asia-Angola service.”

D-Zign moves closer to client base By Liesl Venter There is no denying the importance of systems for the smooth running of an operation. And for Johan Vermeulen, director of D-Zign, ensuring that the necessary documentation needed for those systems is always available and at hand, is just as important. Offering a wide range of printed forms which include Iata-approved and regulated neutral and personalised air waybills, courier waybills, labels and label printers, the company has just recently moved to larger premises in Meadowdale allowing them

to deliver faster and more efficiently to the air and road freight industry. “This is an important industry to us. In addition to the waybills we also print business forms such as invoices, credit notes, GRV/GRN forms, folders and books. We also cater to the corporate identity of companies, providing the likes of business cards, letterheads, compliment slips and folders. This enables us to cater to all the printing needs of customers. “We decided to move to larger premises not just for the expansion but also because it will bring us closer to our customer

base which will mean we can make faster deliveries and have more one-onone consultations,” says Vermeulen. “We have a very dedicated staff complement,” he added, “ensuring speedy turnaround times from inception to completion of an order.” While the economic meltdown has affected the majority of business in South Africa, Vermeulen said the credit crunch had also hit home for them. “But we have been able to maintain our competitive prices and although we found a small decline earlier this year, we are now seeing a change for the better.”

AIRFREIGHT INTO AFRICA

Fuel costs plunge – along with demand Rehabilitation of several regional airports under way By James Hall

‘Emergency spare parts still big business.’ “Last year’s challenge for airfreight was the cost of fuel. This year fuel is down but the economy is way down. A lot of air freight is spare parts going to the mines of DRC and Zambia, but with the drop in commodities prices

there’s been a slowdown in mining activity,” said Hedley Monroe, a clearing and forwarding agent in Gauteng. Where air cargo is concerned, goods destined for regional consignees tend to hub through Johannesburg to be routed northward again on short-haul aircraft or sometimes by road. This past year, OR Tambo International has improved its security systems to thwart the theft problem that had prompted some airfreight companies to devise their own security measures. Most perishables going from SA to regional destinations are foodstuffs travelling by road not air. Spare parts are likely to be of European or US origin,

flown to SA and then airfreighted north. The challenge then becomes speedy egress of goods from regional airports, where customs procedures require skilled local agents acting for airfreight firms to be present to assist. Airports seem to be growing aware of the business costs associated with customs delays. Angola’s Customs Department has announced a 30-day time cap for importers to declare, pay duties and remove incoming goods from customs facilities at Luanda’s international airport. The system is computerised, and documents can be sent and received via the internet. Rehabilitation of

Mozambique’s main airfreight hub in Maputo is on schedule for 2010 completion. Aeroportos de Moçambique, which manages Maputo Airport, says the dowdy facility will be fully remodelled and technically modernised at a cost of $75 million. Also on schedule for its 2010 opening is Swaziland’s new international airport, which will include 1000 m 2 of airfreight cargo storage capacity. Airfreight will face higher volumes with the end of the worldwide recession. But better business conditions will also bring greater demand for fuel, pushing up fuel prices and making airfreight a costly option once more.

Airfreight into Africa can be distilled into a few essential elements – the unrivalled position of SA as SADC’s air cargo hub, the cost of fuel impacting air cargo movement and the dominance of the “air freight cargo perennials,” emergency spare parts and perishables, over all other kinds of freight. Of Africa’s top three airports in terms of activity, according to the Airport International Council, holding the number one position is Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport, with Cape Town International Airport at number three. Apart from Durban International

Airport that holds position number eight, the remaining airfreight facilities aren’t even in our region. (Spots two, four and five are held by Egyptian airports, Morocco is number six and Kenya number seven; Lagos and Tunisia hold spots nine and ten.)

SA is growing its unrivalled position as SADC's air cargo hub.

Gerd von Mansberg .. ‘South Africa is doing well with the supply of spares for the mining industry.’

CARGO CRATES FOR ANYTHING FROM MACHINERY TO FINE ART

There are few who will disagree that business volumes into Africa have slowed down significantly over the past year, with the main business into the region coming from Aid agencies. “And this originates mainly in Europe rather than South Africa,” says The Cargo Connection MD Gerd von Mansberg. “The only possible exception is Zimbabwe where Air Zim flights are oversubscribed,” Von Mansberg told FTW. The outlook for the year ahead is largely dependent on available forex in the countries of destination, he adds. “This is export-financed and as we know the commodity prices worldwide are not exactly buoyant.” And while many regard Africa as a continent of

growth, Von Mansberg is more circumspect. “The emerging markets are faring a little better than mainstream economies because their growth is from a lower base,” says Von Mansberg. “But they cannot grow in isolation, and the slowdown in demand for commodities in the developed world hampers exports from Africa.” And the types of commodities sourced from South Africa don’t necessarily favour the airfreight option. Traditional exports include basic commodities which are generally seafreighted. High tech products are mainly sourced from the East and are often flown directly while pharmaceuticals, largely from India, are also brought into Africa directly.

In his view, the priority for South Africa is to provide a competitive alternative into the continent for goods sourced elsewhere. “It is cheaper for African countries in many cases to source from India, China, Thailand and Taiwan, for example. We need to get onto their preferred shopping lists.” On the positive side, South Africa is doing well with the supply of spares for the mining industry, motor spares and other day-to-day consumables. “Johannesburg remains the main SADC airfreight hub and many shipments are routed via Johannesburg. “For African airlines serving Johannesburg, the name of the game is to have special rate agreements (Spas) in place to earn their share of the cargo market.”

AIRFREIGHT INTO AFRICA

Slower – but opportunities still there for the taking Ongoing development in West Africa If ever there was a defining moment, for Intraspeed it was October last year. “Until then we had a good run in our exports into Africa across the board,” Intraspeed managing director Jade da Costa told FTW. “We were involved in a lot of mining business before the mining shut-down and there was a lot of exploration, so it was buoyant for us. “We then slowly saw the global economic doom starting to hit certain industries quite severely. Businesses in East Africa that were funded by large banks were put on hold, as were some of the construction projects, and the result was a business slowdown.” Since October it’s been

a tough few months for Intraspeed along with the rest of the industry – and Da Costa expects more of the same for the year ahead. “A lot of the mining houses have stopped their exploration, existing mines have slowed down, and a few mines in the DRC that were completely closed and due to come back on line in April will now only return to productivity towards the end of the year,” said Da Costa. All of which translates into a difficult business climate, particularly for logistics operators into the region. But it’s not all doom and gloom. “There is still a lot of cash business available in Africa which is one of the bonuses in doing business on the

Jade da Costa … ‘Still a lot of cash business available in Africa.’ continent,” Da Costa told FTW. “A lot of the business wasn’t geared by financial institutions abroad and that is still continuing. “There’s also ongoing

development in West Africa, where the telecoms business is still booming, with groups like Zain on a big drive to get more market share throughout Africa.” And although there has been some downward movement in the region, it remains the only continent at present where there will be growth going forward, in Da Costa’s view. “Perhaps not a lot but there will be growth.” And this he attributes to continued foreign investment, a fairly buoyant construction outlook and railways moving ahead in East Africa. “Niche markets will continue to provide opportunities, and the answer is to remain positive.”

Airfreight the border conge “The global economic downturn has taken its toll on the local freight industry with the trade balance shifting from a nett export to a nett import market,” says Neil Harris, MD of Freightit. Previously trading as Texcon Shipping, Freightit recently rebranded to align with its associated but totally independently managed group companies Courierit and Warehouseit. “Forwarders that have not managed their costs and debtors closely are being the worst hit and staff retrenchments are becoming a reality.” According to Harris, Africa has been least affected by the global economic downturn. “Technology and project freight have remained strong, providing the major thrust, but Customs issues remain a challenge. Angola is particularly problematic in its cargo release turnaround times,” he told FTW. Which is why airfreight remains the most viable option for African countries where port and border

Capacity problems loom The trials and tribulations of the airfreight industry have been well documented, and for operators into Africa the challenges are no different. “The global recession has resulted in a substantial drop in airline volumes,” says

Intraspeed managing director Jade da Costa. “As a result we’re likely to see charter operators and airline carriers putting smaller aircraft onto certain routes which will create a problem for larger cargo pieces.”

And while reduced volumes will knock the airfreight industry, shippers looking for cost savings will also be considering the seafreight option. “Lead time will have to be taken into account, but there’s

no doubt that airlines will be affected. “Most airlines into the region are using European cargo north and south bound to subsidise certain rates, and this will have a direct impact on the rate level and structure.”

Continent’s basic needs create opportunity

Neil Harris ... Customs issues remain a challenge. congestion are the order of the day. But thanks to strong business relationships in the region, African trade has grown significantly for Freightit, says Harris. “We believe it is entering its second phase of growth and is positioned to double its size in the next 12 months.” The company was a finalist in the JCCI Gauteng Exporter of the Year awards last year.

While donor funding is clearly a significant obstacle to Africa’s growth, the continent’s population still needs to eat, sleep, drink, not get sick and make calls – which creates opportunities for airfreight operators into

the region. That’s according to one of the operators who preferred to remain unnamed, and who believes the difficult economic circumstances will spawn more and more

entrepreneurial business. “We are already seeing a range of farming supplies moving into the DRC and land being made available to ex-South African farmers in the country.” For airfreight operators,

price is a growing concern, according to our commentator. “We’re offering clients alternatives to airfreight only. With combinations of air/road or sea/ air, prices can be kept down.”

Chavda focuses on airfreight growth By Joy Orlek Africa specialist Chavda Freight has put airfreight into Africa on its growth agenda. The Johannesburgbased company, which has established its credentials in the region with a clear focus on road and sea, is keen to expand its airfreight division. “At the moment we are

doing some airfreight, mainly into Angola, for a sister company but we see airfreight as a lucrative growth market,” director Hannes Rust told FTW. “We are an established roadfreight operator and therefore have the expertise in southern Africa,” said Rust. “We can provide the service, we have the resources and it’s

therefore a logical move.” Chavda was recently approached by a client who exports by air into Botswana, Zambia Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Namibia, said Rust. “We are looking at the entire region.” Along with the rest of the industry, Rust reports an exceptional 2008 in terms of volumes and performance.

“It was a very good year for us until December and into early January. It seems that everyone was trying to get everything done before the end of the year. “We were extremely busy and then in February things started slowing down.” According to Rust the majority of goods moved are related to the mining and

construction industries. “A lot of the mines virtually stopped production in Angola or slowed down.” But ever the optimist, he is confident of an upturn in the not too distant future. Chavda offers an intermodal integrated logistics service that includes packing, customs clearance and warehousing and storage.

Spare parts bolster airfreight sector By James Hall The dark cloud of this year’s global economic downturn has its silver lining for the airfreight division of Manica Group Namibia, which finds itself doing good business in spare parts transport. “We are very busy with spare parts. They are needed for rehabilitation of oil rigs and vessels,” reports Gregory

Camm, Manica’s exports forwarding consultant for airfreight, which is handled out of the firm’s Windhoek office. With local perishables such as fish and meat now shipped by sea in reefers from Manica’s Walvis Bay facility, the spare parts business comes at a welcome time.

ACR hopes for end-of-year upturn Door slams shut on fantastic 2008 By Joy Orlek Ask Airline Cargo Resources MD Bryn Woolley for a report-back on last year’s performance and there are two conflicting tales to tell. “It was absolutely fantastic until the end of October when it was almost as if someone slammed the door shut,” Woolley told FTW. “ACR celebrates its 15th anniversary in August and for us October was our best month ever, with recordbreaking figures in terms of both revenue and tonnage.” Business stuttered along in November and December and the tornado hit in January, says Woolley, but he’s confident that there are markets out there for the adventurous. “You may have to speculate a bit and you do need to keep a tight hold on the purse strings, but having said that

we have recently seen a steady growth in shipments flown. “In the first two months of the year it was a matter of quoting and quoting and seeing very little because a rates war was in full swing. That’s definitely still at play but we are seeing an upswing across the board with all our carriers.” ACR is currently the GSA for Air Austral, Air Madagascar, Air Namibia, Ethiopian Airlines, Etihad Crystal Cargo and offline for Air Jamaica. While there has been little change in the services provided, Ethiopian Airlines has dropped one of its freighters and is now down to a Sunday operation. “We believe it was a wise move because rates out of Europe are extremely depressed at the moment and everyone is fighting for kilos.

Bryn Woolley ... currently in negotiations with a few carriers. “But we hope to see an upturn by the end of the year.” According to Woolley

there’s no change in the commodities moving – mining equipment, consumables, auto spares and

the like – but volumes are considerably down. “We’ve also been quoting on a number of charters but rand dollar has played a big role – although now we find that easing off so hopefully we’ll see more of the bigger projects coming our way.” ACR opened a Nairobi office this year representing Turkish Airlines. “It’s been a great success and we’re now pushing to get an extra aircraft on the route because we need the capacity. It’s a very small office but the response from the market and other carriers has been phenomenal.” In spite of the economic climate, standing still is never an option. According to Woolley, the company is currently in negotiations with a few carriers while it is also working hard to develop new products with its current GSA base.

Getting the most out of airfreight demands an understanding of the basics When it comes to trade with Africa, complacency is not an option. “Politics and economics – particularly in Africa – can change overnight,” says Metro Minds’ Juliette Fourie. And there are more than enough training programmes on offer by public and private institutions to provide the requisite knowledge, says Fourie. “There is nothing more dangerous than an uneducated trader – and as a training provider for the forwarding and

clearing industry, we constantly come up against a lack of understanding of the basics.” In her view this starts with the exporter deciding on the correct incoterm. “The VAT Act also plays an important role – incorrect VAT is often charged on the exporter’s commercial invoice purely because of ignorance.” Fourie says one of the most basic reasons for airfreight cargo delays is documentation. “The airlines frequently receive incomplete and incorrect documents from the exporter

and the freight forwarder – and this relates not only to transport, but also customs compliance documents.” While sending cargo by airfreight is generally the safest option, it may not always be the quickest, says Fourie. “A number of issues need to be factored in – like the fact that there may not always be daily flights or space available. “It is therefore crucial for shippers to understand routings, schedules, facilities, equipment, compliances and restrictions into the country

Juliette Fourie … ‘It’s crucial for shippers to understand routings, schedules, facilities and restrictions in the country of destination.’ of destination. “This will not only help the exporter plan his trade cycles better, but also give

the airline, freight forwarder and the importer the opportunity to ensure a hasslefree trade cycle.”

Freight demand finds solid floor Freight demand appears to have found a solid floor with a fifth consecutive month at more than 20% below previous year levels. That’s according to the latest International Air Transport Association

(Iata) traffic data for April, revealing a 21.7% fall in cargo demand compared to April 2008. “We are not out of the woods yet,” said Giovanni Bisignani, Iata’s director general and CEO. “The

demand improvements that we saw in April were welcome but freight remains at shockingly low levels. The worst may be over but we have not yet seen any signs that recovery is imminent,” he said.

While business confidence is improving, inventories remain high. And until inventories adjust to more normal levels, airfreight volumes are likely to continue to bounce along the bottom.

Carriers in all regions showed double digit declines with Middle Eastern carriers the strongest performers at -11.1% and Latin American carriers the worst at -24.2%. African carriers came in at -18.8%.

Open doors which are daily getting harder.

Just over a year since its launch, specialist container and transport broking company Emmaus Container Solutions is more than satisfied with business growth which appears to be bucking the recessive trend. Focusing on container retailers and offering them an integrated one-stop service for container storage/repairs, container surveys and basic conversions as well as domestic transport, Emmaus has seen significant growth over the past eight months, says co-owner Ralph Peters who set up the company with partner Elvis Pillay. “We are very optimistic and are planning to upgrade our infrastructure,” he told FTW. A new stacker is on the cards for delivery in the first quarter of 2010. “In contrast to last year’s tight container availability, the retailer market

has eased up considerably, which has impacted positively on our container movements and other activities,” says Peters. The company’s immediate focus is to consolidate the Johannesburg facility with expansion to coastal regions a future possibility. Both Peters and Pillay have notched up several decades of depot and container management experience. Peters started his career in a depot environment, moving to a well-known shipping company for almost 15 years, managing its container fleet in South Africa on a national basis. Pillay was based at the depot and the two worked closely together for many years. “Until now our business has grown by word of mouth – which is clear evidence that our customers are satisfied with the service that we provide. We now have a firm base from which to move forward.”

Lending will become increasingly difficult

Custom Made Your regular specialist column on customs-related issues By Mark Boucher

Prevention is better than cure Thorough audit could reveal refund bonanza We are often approached by clients who have been issued with hefty schedules from SA Revenue Service as a result of underpayment of customs duties and VAT. It is unfortunate that most, if not all, of these schedules could have been prevented had the necessary preventative action been taken. It is the classic case of "prevention is better than cure" or a "stitch in time saves nine". Part of the problem is finding the time to conduct a thorough audit of one's activities. An importer is often bogged down by the sourcing and marketing of his product, whereas their clearing and forwarding agent is under

FTW0017SP

pressure to clear the cargo within strict time constraints. Although these cannot be used as excuses, they are facts and realities of life. Another part of the problem is that incorrect advice, verbally or written, is often given by Sars officials based at branch offices. Unless this advice is based on a correct legal interpretation of relevant legislation, such as the Customs and Excise Act or VAT Act, then it has no legal basis whatsoever, regardless of the fact that it was issued by a Sars official. There is also the issue of adequately trained staff employed by importers and clearing and forwarding agents, conversant with the

hordes of various legislation found in the supply chain. It is of utmost importance that there is a strong knowledge base within the team and that the team is kept up to date with current legislation. Continuous training (and motivation) is the secret to any successful business. The solution is to engage the services of a reputable legal firm that has a specialist Customs division to assess your needs and conduct a thorough audit of your company's activities. You may even be pleasantly surprised to find that there are refunds due to you! Customs @ Wylie may be reached on 0860CUSTOMS or customs@wylie.co.za

Gary Wels ... tough times ahead. By Liesl Venter The banking sector will remain conservative in the eye of the economic storm, not parting with money unless they have the reassurance that borrowers will survive the current crisis. This was the warning from independent banker and consultant Gary Wels at the annual Road Freight Association Convention in Vanderbijlpark recently.

He said with repossessions on the increase credit had gone into a downward spin while other factors such as the lower market liquidity and interbank lending had also played a role. “We are now seeing some 6000 to 7000 vehicles being repossessed monthly while there is an estimated 50% increase in truck repossessions. Banks don’t just lend money to lose money and with a glut of trucks in the market and the second hand value of trucks having decreased, there is no doubt that banks are not going to give credit unless they know for a fact that the person they are lending the money to is going to survive the storm.” With liquidations up 65% for the first quarter of 2009, indications are that South Africa, much like the rest of the world, is facing some tough months ahead. Wels said transporters could expect to see reduced lending while credit could also be declined in future through more stringent credit vetting measures.

Last week’s top stories on www.cargoinfo.co.za Recession – no sector immune Economists have warned that no sector in South Africa should consider themselves safe following the confirmation by Statistics SA this week that the country is in a recession. According to the experts, many industries and sectors believed they would not be affected by the

global economic downturn. Sars plea for PAYE The South African Revenue Service has urged employers in the country to submit their 2009 PAYE reconciliations to Sars as soon as possible, with just two weeks left of the 2009 Tax Season for employers.

Transport income shrinks Income from freight transportation for February 2009 has decreased by 3.3%, Statistics SA said last week. This was in comparison to the same period last year.

list in sheer numbers. And how relatively lightly the sector is being hit by the current bad times is also apparent in the latest gross domestic product (GDP) figures. According to Doig’s analysis, the

logistics sector makes up 10% of SA’s GDP. “But the figures for that specific sector only fell -1.8% in the first quarter, compared to an overall drop of 6.4%,” he told FTW.

Freight sector comes off lightly in liquidation stakes By Alan Peat The latest liquidation figures made for an interesting read in the SA freight industry, with everyone keenly eyeing who around them had gone, or were likely to go, bung. But the logistics sector (transport, storage and communication) fared reasonably lightly in the latest stats on company liquidations in the first four months of the year – with only a 16% rise from 25 to 29 closures compared to the same period last year. And the lightness of this rise can be seen in a comparison with the other overall figures, and those for other industry sectors. The month of April, for example, saw overall liquidations rocket up by 41.3% compared to the level a year ago (247 to 349). That brings the year-to-date total to 1 357, which is a whopping 45.3% higher than in the first four months of 2008. These figures came as a bit of a surprise – even possibly an element of shock – to Luke Doig, senior investment and economic services manager for Credit Guarantee Insurance Corporation (CGIC) “I honestly had expected that, with the surfeit of public holidays and the concomitant administrative delays, the rise would have been in the 20% region,” he told FTW. “There again, with the spate of company closures in the past months and the pick-up in the unemployment rate in

the first quarter of 2009, I would have expected insolvencies to surge.” But that they hadn’t done in the first three months, with the drop of 6.6% recorded in March (240 from 257 a year earlier) actually taking sequestrations to a level only 10.5% above that of the first quarter of 2008. The same wasn’t true by the end of April, with some alarming trends emerging in various sectors for the first four months of the year. The top three in total numbers – but obviously with no pride in being there – were: Financing, insurance, real estate and business services (a combination which forms the largest services industry) and which saw 51.6% more failures at 561 from 370; wholesale, retail trade, catering and accommodation, which saw 26.7% more firms fold in a rise from 344 to 436; and community, social and personal services which saw failures rise 85.8% to 145 from 78. In fourth and fifth places were: Manufacturing, where casualties rose 17.9% to 79 from 67; and, despite the apparent boom, the winding-up of construction firms, which leapt 105.7% from 35 to 71. Tailing off the list, agricultural failures jumped 125% to 18 from 8; electricity, gas and water liquidations spiked from 4 to 11; and mining closures doubled to 6 from 3. The logistics sector fits in just above the agricultural industry, and is well down the

Transporters must rethink post-recession tactics – Sunter By Liesl Venter South African transporters should act more like foxes than hedgehogs if they want to survive the economic storm, writer and scenario planning guru Clem Sunter said recently. “It is extremely important to be adaptable, to read the markets and constantly question if your strategy is still valid,” said Sunter. “In the current economic times no businessman can be a Clem Sunter ... ‘You have to be foxy.’

hedgehog and remain fixated on one vision and one mission. While there is no doubt that you can be successful while keeping your eye on that one big idea, you may miss many opportunities along the way. You have to be foxy and not put all your eggs in one basket.” Warning that the recession was expected to continue for at least another 12 months, Sunter said all predictions were that it would be a V-shaped recession, which would see many companies head back up in 2011, but the game will have changed

completely. “All expectations are to be out of the recession by the end of this year but business is going to need new balls for the new game as the way of the past will no longer exist. There will be no more easy credit, banks will be more regulated than ever before, the East is going to play equal to the West for the first time ever and we will have new technology that will also determine how we work.” He said two scenarios existed for the recession – a V shape where there is a downward move

and unpredictably you cannot say how long and how deep you will go down before going back up again, and a U shaped recession. “I think we will have a relatively shallow V in South Africa, which is now considered the fifth most bank-worthy nation on earth because our banks escaped most of the toxic debt. “The world has been in a long boom scenario since 1982, mainly due to the rise of the East and secondly the development of technology. This recession was inevitable in some regard but we believe the worst is over.”

“If such a move resulted in a strike at Transnet, it would seriously disrupt the economy and the country.” And Rautenbach also pointed an accusing finger at management. “If it weren’t for bad bosses,” he told FTW, “there’d be no need for unions.” This general thinking was also expressed by the SA Association of Ship Operators and Agents (Sassoa). In the absence of a formal notification from Transnet and without knowing the details of the negotiations, according to executive director Thato Tsautse, Saasoa had addressed a letter to Transnet Port Terminals (TPT). This acknowledged the fact that, like all other organisations, Transnet needed to contain costs in the current economic climate - and that staff costs were no doubt a sizeable proportion of their costs. But, she added: “We also acknowledged that it was to be expected that their staff were feeling the impact of inflationary pressures and

would no doubt be looking for the best possible increase they could get. “As is often the case in such opposing positions, it is quite possible that a deadlock could be reached in negotiations. We have therefore urged them in our letter to try and expedite the negotiation process and to do their best to reach a speedy and amicable agreement with their staff. This would avoid a strike situation, which would probably have a bigger negative effect on shipping

line operators than any other single sector in the logistics chain.” And, although Transnet has now made an offer, this week’s meeting with the unions and the conciliator will decide where the issue goes next. But, said Barrett, if a solution acceptable to both parties is not reached, the Satawu strike is still on the cards – a move which the union is certain would bring the SA port and landside cargo movement to a grinding halt.

Double standards

MD of Airlink Cargo and chairman of the Air Cargo Operators’ Committee (Acoc), commented: “If we look at inflation – particularly the bread-and-butter stuff – I think it’s a bad move by Transnet. “Especially when it’s putting increases on all its tariffs for the industry, and still offering nothing to the workers – the vital cogs in the company’s machine.

From page 1 He also had a suggestion for the parastatal transport organisation’s management. “I think all the fat cats should take a cut,” he told FTW, “from business unit executive upward. Kevin Martin, MD of Freightliner Transport, and vice-chairman of the Durban harbour carriers’ section of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff), suggested that basic economic theory and Transnet’s economic policy seemed contradictory. “It’s an international economic truth that, where supply exceeds demand, prices fall,” he said, “and, where demand exceeds supply, prices rise. “But in Transnet’s case, they seem to think that – even with their supply well exceeding the demand – they can demand an over-inflation increase in their prices.” Also, there’s a basic truth in the private sector freight industry.
