Francois Nortje, director of Distribution Junxion at Port of Gauteng, joined Alec Hogg to discuss the recent cyber attack on Transnet. Nortje says he is not surprised because Transnet is a soft target for organised crimes, including cable and fuel theft.
His advice is to break the organisation up into smaller private companies because employees in SOEs are not as protective of their businesses as private owners. “Break this thing up into 10 or 12 international or South African companies that take over a portion of Transnet, run it, and then later they can compete with each other.
I can’t see any other way. It’s too big. It’s too unwell.” – Claire Badenhorst
