What happened
Manganese exports from South Africa are being consolidated at the Port of Ngqura to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The relocation project, detailed in a request for qualification document, could require up to R44bn of investment. The private sector will play a leading role in building the terminal and rehabilitating the supporting rail infrastructure, which will be operated under a special purpose vehicle for at least 25 years.

Why it matters
The project involves two special purpose vehicles, one handling terminal and rail operations, and another managing financing and maintenance. Interested private sector bidders must secure financing commitments of at least R10bn from lenders to participate in the procurement process.
