Transnet’s Engineering targeted procurement philosophy is aimed at broad-based BEE, thus, contributing to and achieving economic growth in our country and the southern African region as a whole, by, for instance, training historically disadvantaged individuals (HDIs) to become economically active, by reducing unemployment and by stimulating growth in all sectors of our economy. In so doing, TE contributed to enhancing the provision of services, builds capacity and acts as a catalyst for development in many growth areas, creates employment, develops small and medium enterprises, alleviates poverty and promotes the full participation of previously marginalised groups in the mainstream economy.
