Evidence note. This report attributes claims to the named institution and links the primary record. Plans, estimates, forecasts and reported progress are labelled as such.

Transnet National Ports Authority describes the KZN Logistics Hub as a programme of 33 projects across the master plans for Durban and Richards Bay, with estimated investment above R154bn.

TNPA’s published programme page says the Durban plan is intended to expand container and automotive capacity, while Richards Bay would strengthen its industrial and dry-bulk role. The same page contains future capacity and economic-impact projections.

The public programme page does not provide a project-by-project appropriation, procurement calendar or delivery status for all 33 components.

What it means

The R154bn figure is best read as a programme estimate. Civic Ledger will link individual project pages as TNPA publishes project scopes, approvals, tender documents, awards and funding records.
