KZN Networking Breakfast SAPOA invites you to attend the KZN Networking Breakfast What impact will the evolving role of Transnet as a State-Owned Entity have on property values? The impact of Transnet’s evolving role on property values is complex and multifaceted. Well-executed improvements to the country’s logistics and transport infrastructure, particularly in key areas with strong industrial or commercial potential, are likely to lead to increased property values. However, mismanagement, operational disruptions, or a failure to modernize could result in negative consequences for property markets in affected areas. The key will be the extent to which Transnet can successfully balance growth, efficiency, and sustainability in its operations.
