disadvantaged sectors and in particular, rural Eastern Cape. With its variety of networks, we are able to penetrate the communities with our set for offerings. SMME’s can now access our tenders which are mainly on maritime and civil Engineering construction services. It removes the perception that the port alienates previously disadvantaged groups because it details its transformed and transparent procurement processes that are in line with the government procurement guidelines.
In addition, the program coincides with the port’s program of Corporate Social Investment which has a mix of targets on Education, Health and other social activities that are designed to alleviate the plight of the poor.
