Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) announced today that it would implement a rotation of its harbour masters from 1 July.
TNPA chief operating officer, Nozipho Mdawe, noted that the changes would allow for the ongoing development of the harbour masters through exposure to other ports within the port network.
“The transfers will also enable TNPA to fill the vacancy in the role of harbour master at the Port of Cape Town following the promotion of Captain Vernal Jones from Cape Town harbour master to port manager at the Port of Saldanha last year,” she said.
The following changes take effect from 1 July:
Captain Alex Miya, most recently harbour master at the Port of Durban, moves to Cape Town..
Captain Sabelo Mdlalose transfers from the Port of Richards Bay to the Port of Durban.
Captain Precious Dube moves from the Port of East London to Richards Bay.
The Port of East London’s harbour master role will be filled in an acting capacity by the port’s marine operations manager, Mzukisi Nqwata.
