State-owned freight logistics group Transnet, which invested a record R31.8-billion last year, is planning to invest a further R33-billion in 2014/15 and says it has no intention, at this stage, of pulling back from its R307.5-billion Market Demand Strategy, despite the sluggish South African economy.

While the mining industry across the Southern African Development Community region has continued on a positive growth path despite the tough economic climate, some investors have indicated that South Africa is losing its status as the “gateway to Africa”, according to professional services firm EY’s 2014 Africa Attractiveness Survey.
