FROM RECOVERY TO MOMENTUM: 

Setting our sights on 2026/27

Over the past three years, Transnet has focused on stabilising operations, rebuilding confidence and laying the foundation for long-term growth. Now, as we enter the 2026/27 financial year, the focus has shifted to stronger performance, operational delivery and sustainable growth.

The latest performance targets, shared as part of the Reinvent for Growth (R4G) strategy, reflect a continued focus on improving rail, port and pipeline performance. The intent is to strengthen Transnet’s role in supporting South Africa’s economy through more reliable and efficient operations.

Building on Progress Already Made

Since the launch of the Recovery Plan and the R4G strategy, Transnet has made measurable progress across the following key areas:

The Recovery Plan has also helped restore confidence among customers, government and private-sector partners, while creating a clearer sense of direction across the organisation.

Importantly, behind every operational milestone lies something even more important: the people driving the work forward every day.

The achievements of the past three years would not have been possible without the dedication and resilience of our employees.

2026/27: The Year Ahead in Numbers

Transnet’s latest performance targets highlight focus areas for the year ahead:

These targets will guide Transnet’s operations throughout the financial year. Employees are encouraged to continuously monitor performance and identify challenges early, maintaining a strong focus on execution and accountability.

A Culture of Performance, Safety and Support

As we continue to build towards long-term

sustainability, Transnet remains focused on

performance, safety and employee wellbeing.

Safety remains a key priority across operations, alongside ongoing efforts to support employees’ health, wellness and resilience in demanding working environments.

The message is clear: long-term success depends not only on operational improvement, but also on creating a workplace where people feel supported, empowered and united behind a shared purpose.

With the next phase of the R4G journey now underway, collective effort across the organisation will remain critical in driving Transnet forward. 

Behind every operational milestone are the people driving the work forward every day.
