Significant coal reserves in neighbouring Botswana – strengthening
Regional growth potential
Botswana Institute for Development Policy
Analysis (BIPDA) : The Coal Industry and the
Future of Botswana 2012
Botswana has considerable coal deposits,
one of the largest untapped potential
reserves in the world at over 212 billion
tonnes, 77% of which remains in the
‘hypothetical’ and ‘speculative’ categories.
It has been estimated that as much. as
two thirds of Africa’s coal resource is
found in Botswana
Four commercially significant coal deposits
at Morupule, Mmamabula, Sese and
Mmamantswe on the eastern edge of the
Central Kalahari Karoo Basin have been
explored to a point where it is possible to
conclude that an export industry of at
least 36Mt/a growing to as much as
90Mt/a is possible.

Transnet’s critical role in furthering South Africa’s developmental objectives
Transnet’s mandate, vision, and mission
• Assist in lowering the cost of doing business in South Africa, enabling economic growth and
ensuring security of supply through providing appropriate (port, rail and pipeline)
Mandate
infrastructure in a cost-effective and efficient manner
• Strategic objectives are aligned with national plans and the SSI
• Fuelling Africa’s growth and development as the leading provider of
Vision innovative supply chain solutions.
Mission • Linking economies; connecting people; growing Africa!
Public value creation
• SOEs have to balance economic, social and other objectives by remaining financially
sustainable, while creating value for citizens and society
• The “Inclusive wealth” of a country includes the sum of three kinds of assets:
- manufactured capital (e.g. roads, machinery, buildings)
- human capital (people’s health and skills)
- natural capital (e.g. forests and fossil fuels)
• Creating public value is linked to Transnet’s mandate
In response, Transnet is actively refreshing its brand as it moves into new markets, expanding its service offering, and
redefining its market position
SSI = Statement of Strategic Intent, SOE = State-owned Enterprise ;

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018SA Coal Logistics Challenges and Opportunities
Impact of the Green Economy
The future of coal remains uncertain - New energy sources being explored and gaining momentum
Low investor interest towards new coal mining and coal power generation
Tedious process and onerous requirements to be met for new mining activities
Lack of credible future coal demand and commitment from market (investment certainty; return on investment)
High cost of shipping - Regulation from International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
Coal Sourcing points moving away from traditional coal fields towards north (Infrastructure, Turn Around Times, utilization rate, etc.)
Lack of infrastructure and investment connecting coal deposits and the port
Low coal production; Lack of rapid loading facilities; Railing to stockpile (no vessel nomination)
Cable theft; vandalism of rail infrastructure; Inclement weather impact sometimes leading to port closures
Overvaal tunnel remains a constraint
Competition between domestic and export coal prices (power generation becoming expensive)
Only 10 vs 40 mil Tons of rail friendly coal for power stations, actually moves by rail per annum
Policy certainty could enhance attractiveness to industry players
Optimization, synchronization of capacity within SA coal value chains (coal production, rail, RBCT, Port Terminal and Marine capacity)New Developments: Capacity Creation Approaches for Coal System - Options

Transnet Freight Rail is a division of Transnet SOC Ltd Reg no.: 1990/000900/30 28Conclusion
South Africa has developed expertise to efficiently and cost effectively transport coal by rail from
mines to ports for export.
Current export capacity of >80mtpa will be significantly increased by investment in capacity creation
programmes
Transnet will declare beyond 81 mtpa capacity in the new FY
Major capital programmes will proceed as demand certainty increases
Collaboration with prospective public and private sector partners will accelerate developments
Undivided attention given to improving operations efficiency, the foundation for building the future
The Coal System Rail Capacity Creation Approach will ensure customer demand is matched at all
times
Heavy Haul Operations Business of Transnet has started with defining the future of our Heavy Haul
Railway under Industry 4.0
There is a compelling case to apply the already proven successes of the Heavy Haul industry in non
heavy Haul operations, especially in Africa.
Great opportunity to grow other terminals (non-RBCT) and Eskom to realize SA’s road to rail
aspirations. Transnet Freight Rail is a division of Transnet SOC Ltd Reg no.: 1990/000900/30 29Transnet Freight Rail is a division of Transnet SOC Ltd Reg no.: 1990/000900/30
