According to the information received from Transnet
(a) (i)(ii) and (b)
The planning phase of the port and Rail development has shown that there exists a potential of 13 000 jobs that will be required for the port construction. Transnet’s short-term goal is to prioritize the training, development, and skilling of the local community from Richtersveld.
