Morwe to act as Transnet Freight chief

TFR has operated without a full-time CE since September 2009, noted Acting Group CE, Chris Wells.

"This situation is not ideal for TFR and its stakeholders, particularly the customers.

"Therefore, given the need to focus on our customers' needs and to provide effective leadership, it has become necessary to appoint an interim CE to oversee the day-to-day responsibility of this important division," he said.

In addition, Wells also announced the appointment of Karl Socikwa, the Group Executive: Commercial, to act as interim head for TPT.

His knowledge and understanding within Transnet will allow for a smooth transition. He brings a wealth of commercial experience and energy, said Wells.
