The initiative will increase export capacity and competitiveness while shifting manganese exports from Gqeberha to Ngqura, enabling the transformation of the Port of Port Elizabeth, with terminal closure targeted for 2032. Although not directly linked to the LNG terminal programme, the broader development of infrastructure at the Port of Ngqura will contribute to improved port efficiency and increased bulk commodity handling in the future.

This article was first shown on

ARRIVE ALIVE…

A high-speed chase ended in a head-on collision on the R555 road towards Eloff, just outside Delmas town.

Police say five suspects were caught offloading groceries from a truck in Sundra, in what’s believed to be part of a grocery theft syndicate. One suspect was arrested at the scene, while four fled in a white Polo.

A chase followed towards Delmas. Delmas SAPS were called to assist, but the suspects drove straight into an oncoming police van, causing a head-on collision.

Two suspects were taken to hospital for treatment while two were taken to the police station. The police officers involved sustained minor injuries and were also taken for medical checks.

Police are currently processing the crime scene in Sundra and the accident scene. Traffic is diverted to an alternative route.
