South African Economy vs Logistics Industry
Government policies supports demand rather than Local Production. 20 years - Economy reliant on consumption expenditure. Demand-supply Imbalance. The business sector had to cope with:
Constant service tariffs rising Volatility in the financial markets Strikes / wage settlements. The abrupt cut in tariff protection following the 1994 election.
Highly transport intensive economic setup. Transport hungry country has a far higher landing cost. Less attractive environment in which to do business.
Logistics Industry – Infrastructure
470Billion Rand Industry that has: Total Railway network: 30 422km’s Track
20 101km’s Route Core Railway network: 12 801 km Proclaimed roads of approximately 535 000 km
366 872 km non-urban roads. +/-300 000 km gravel roads.
Eight commercial ports Durban/CPT/PE – Main Ports Airports Durban/CPT/Johannesburg
Total Logistics Cost
Fuel costs most significant and volatile cost driver – Total Cost. Crude oil prices coupled with Exchange Rate.
Fourth highest supply chain constraint.
Skills Shortage Breakdown
Industry status

Industry that has moved beyond survival mode to optimised mode where costs, inventories and lead times have been minimised.
Growth and Performance Influencers vs. Action Plan
Source: DoE presentation: Round 4 preferred bidders
Direct Impact on costing influenced by: Exchange Rate Inflation Rate Interest Rate
Macroeconomic influencers: Structure of the South African economy. Balance of payments Budget deficits
Performance influencers: Trends in South African supply chains Critical logistics enablers Transport efficiency Human Resource
Gov. & DTI’s action plan: National Development Plan, the Industrial Policy Action Plan and a number of
initiatives.

Summary
Summary:
Past economical setup – limited the success rate of the logistics Industry.
Globally competitiveness S.A. Industries. Government and DTI – Initiative – Increase production output. Change the underlying structure of the economy. Local Production allows supply chain integrations - Unlocking
transport efficiency. End-to-end visibility enables real time decision making. Local Production supports – Critical enablers. Skills development though exposure to international standards. Drives down total logistics cost - Build an economy – Better exchange
rate - Lower the demand – Increase sustainability.
