Transnet signed a 10 year agreement with Hotazel Manganese Mines (HMM) on Thursday.
Michelle Phillips, Group Chief of Transnet, said the contract is reflective of the collaborative partnership between the two organisations, and guarantees operational certainty for one of South Africa’s most established manganese producers.
“It also reflects our commitment to the mining sector, underpinned by reliable and predictable access to rail capacity for our manganese exporters” said Phillips.
She also said “by securing dedicated rail and port capacity, the agreement provides HMM with the operational certainty needed to support its mining and export activities, which contribute to local jobs and the country’s economic prosperity.”
