Should Saldanha Bay become the New Cape Town port?

Lester Kiewit speaks to Andre Truter, executive mayor of Saldanha Bay, to discuss the feasibility of moving Cape Town’s port facility to Saldanha Bay, and take advantage of the underutilised industrial area there.
He is also joined by engineer and transport researcher and author Harry Valentine about why Saldanha port could offer a better option as the province’s key port as opposed to the Cape Town operation.
Saldhana Bay is ready for growth, says the municipality’s executive mayor Andre Truter.
He’s adding his voice to those calling for Saldhana to take over from Cape Town as the Western Cape’s key port.
With its arteries of railway lines and roads feeding in and out of the area, combined with it having the biggest and deepest natural harbour in the Southern Hemisphere, Truter says it’s time serious consideration was given to the idea.
