Episode Details

Cape Town’s container terminal has been named the worst-performing port in the world, a blow to South Africa’s fruit industry that threatens jobs and rural livelihoods. While Cape Town languishes last out of 400 ports, Durban, Ngqura, and Port Elizabeth show promising improvement — though all still rank near the bottom. Industry leaders admit equipment upgrades are underway, but real productivity gains are still lacking. Officials stress urgent, lasting reforms are needed to restore reliability, attract shipping lines, and rebuild global buyer confidence — with Cape Town’s turnaround being the critical next step.
