CAPE TOWN - The South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU) says Transnet is struggling to maintain its business because there are corrupt officials within its management structures.
This came after Transnet instituted disciplinary charges against the National Ports Authority's chief executive, Pepi Silinga, amidst allegations of corruption involving more than R300 million.

This followed an investigation by Bowmans Attorneys into impropriety at Transnet National Ports earlier in 2024.
Meanwhile, SATAWU spokesperson Amanda Tshemese said the union has enough evidence against Silinga.
"We welcome the decision taken by the management of Transnet. We have been meeting with the board and we gave them all the evidence.
“Pepi Silinga's case set an example to everyone who continues to steal from the public that their days are numbered," she said.
