PORT OF NGQURA: NEW FIVESTOREY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
R255 mil. ‘green’ building opened
REPORTER
A
N investment boost of R255 million for the Eastern Cape Province economy, in the form of a world-class administration building, is now open for business. The Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) at the Port of Ngqura has officially opened its new five-storey administration building known as eMendi. The building was revealed by TNPA Chief Executive Richard Vallihu, Chief Operating Officer Phyllis Difeto and Ngqura Port Manager Tandi Lebakeng at a special event attended by port employees recently. The name was chosen in reference to the SS Mendi troopship that sunk in the English Channel 100 years ago carrying well over 800 servicemen, the majority of whom were black South Africans.

tainer transhipment hub for sub-Saharan Africa and an important link connecting trade between South America and Asia.” Such capital expenditure forms part of TNPA’s contribution to Transnet’s Market Demand Strategy which is now in its fifth year of implementation. “This is not just a staff building but a platform for us to provide effective, efficient and economic port services at the Port of Ngqura. Transnet builds localisation into each of its contracts in order to foster economic growth and create jobs, and this project has certainly done so in the Eastern Cape,” he said. Vallihu added that other projects within a recent R700 million capacity installation investment at Ngqura included construction of the port’s administration craft basin for pilot boats and tugboats, and the vacuumbased automated mooring system which they introduced as a first for an African port.
