Transnet Port Terminals continues to create youth opportunities and warns of scams

In the 2024/2025 financial year, Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) allocated an average of 6% of its total procurement spend to youth-owned businesses and suppliers. An additional R62 million was invested on various development programmes for young employees.

“It has always been important for TPT to empower the youth because, in our view, our efforts today increase the rate at which we witness positive change in both our sector and in the entirety of South Africa,” said TPT Chief Procurement Officer Bhekani Cele.

Annually, TPT focuses on creating youth opportunities with inclusion of the companies owned by youth, women and persons with disabilities. In addition, over 270 youth who have studied Information Technology, Supply Chain, Commerce, Human Resources, Communications, Engineering and gained skills to be electricians, millwrights, boilermakers and fitters, are currently located across TPT undergoing structured learning programmes. TPT further sponsored a total of 191 youth employees with bursaries, valued at R8 million, to attain qualifications.

“All available opportunities that the company offers are available on our web platform, and we often encourage people through our social media platforms to visit our website,” said Cele, adding that scams were real. Warning South Africans, Cele said that no tenders or jobs were for sale in the company and advised that any correspondence from a legitimate employee representing the company would use an email address ending with @transnet.net and not do business via a cellphone.
