“I am excited to announce the appointment of Moshe Motlohi as the new Durban Port Manager. He is an ex-teacher who holds a Management Advanced Program from Wits Business School and an Executive MBA from Graduate School of Business, University of Cape Town,” said Morwe.
Motlohi joined South African Ports Operations (SAPO) in June 2003 as the Chief Operations Manager in Port Elizabeth. In 2005 he was promoted to head a more complex operation at Durban Container Terminal (DCT) where he was responsible for operations, SHERQ, security and technical departments.
In 2007 he was promoted to a position of Business Unit Manager at Durban Container Terminal, where he led one of the biggest re-engineering initiatives, the Vulindlela Project at DCT.
In 2010 he was promoted to Terminal Executive at Cape Town terminals, and was later transferred to lead Pier 1 and Pier 2 container terminals. He then moved to Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) head office to head up the People Transformation and Development Unit. In 2012 he was promoted to the Head of Strategy at TPT.
“I have complete confidence that as Moshe joins TNPA today, he is the right man to continue leading the Port of Durban to new heights,” said Morwe.
As Ntshingila passed on the baton of the biggest and busiest port in Southern Africa to Motlohi, Ntshingila committed to imparting knowledge, institutional memory and mentoring young executives on port operations. According to Ntshingila, the main function of the authority is to ensure the running of a safe and efficient port system, creating capacity ahead of demand and protecting the environment as captured in the Ports Act of 2005.
