The congestion crisis at South Africa’s state-run ports has resulted in cargo ships having to wait 215+ hours at Port Nqura and 32 hours to enter Port Elizabeth port. Meanwhile, the wait to enter the Durban port stood at 227+ hours at the end of Nov.
According to the state-owned enterprise in charge of South Africa's ports, Transnet, this severe shipping backlog will only be cleared by February or March 2024.
The situation has become so dire that the CEO of Transnet described it as "Rome is burning"

Further, this white progressive liberal perception of guardianship produces fawning & praise over mediocrity reminiscent of a Grade 1 teacher telling a pupil that his presentation was the best she's ever heard in her life!
