“President Ramaphosa outlined a bold vision for transport as a driver of economic growth.”
The inaugural National Transport Conference brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society. Key themes included digital innovation, sustainability, and regional integration. Ramaphosa emphasized transport as the “heartbeat of economic growth,” linking infrastructure to job creation and competitiveness. Critics argue that past promises have faltered due to corruption and inefficiency. Yet, the conference signals renewed commitment to aligning transport with national development goals, with emphasis on accountability and measurable outcomes.
