The NPA will turn all non-core employees, such as security officers, into permanent employees of Transnet. There is a healthy working relationship with organised labour, and a delegation representing both parties, that will go on a study tour to learn best practices of port management. The Committee interacted with a number of employees who have been trained and developed and who have subsequently been promoted to higher positions in the organisation. One employee, Ms Nosipho Kale, started as a tea girl at the port, then she studied logistics management through Transnet bursaries, and was promoted as a planning technician.
