NPA Strategic Direction & BEE Opportunities Presented by Siyabonga Gama Chief Executive Officer NPA

A short quiz The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a “professional” The questions are not that difficult, so don’t cheat by looking ahead!

Question 1 How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Answer The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

Question 2 How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Answer Wrong Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

Question 3 The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?

Answer Correct Answer: The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator, remember. This tests your memory.

OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

Question 4 There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?

Answer Correct Answer: You swim across. Why? All the Crocodiles are attending the Animal Conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

4R Model

NPA Strategic Direction NPA’s strategic direction underpinned by the National Commercial Ports Policy and National Ports Authority Bill The National Ports Authority Bill specifically requires NPA To promote the achievement of equality by measures designed to advance persons or categories of persons historically disadvantaged by unfair discrimination in the operation of facilities in the ports environment Promote greater representivity, in particular to increase the participation in terminal port operations of historically disadvantaged persons This area will remain a strategic imperative for NPA for some time

BEE Strategy To accelerate procurement from black- owned and empowered enterprises to create new enterprises with the objective of growing existing emerging entrepreneurs to produce value-added goods and services for the industry and increase employment

Key BEE Opportunities Construction projects: R1,2bn BEE spend expected over next 3 years (R/Bay, Durban, Ngqura & Cape Town) Maintenance projects: R400m BEE spend on electrical, dredging, marine craft and equipment maintenance e.g. floating cranes Provision of security, cleaning and catering services,70% set aside for BEE suppliers

NPA Undertaking to assist BEE growth in Maritime Sector Facilitate access by Black suppliers to NPA procurement activity Ensure that an increasing portion of contracts are awarded to Black Entrepreneurs and Suppliers with a clear and evident commitment to Black Empowerment Facilitate entry of Black entrepreneurs into port related industries e.g. warehousing, logistics park operations, stevedoring etc. Create awareness, understanding and support for Black Economic Empowerment among NPA key stakeholders

Challenges facing NPA Construction projects remain too big and specialized Implementation of our robust supplier development policy to achieve 50% BEE spend by 2004, and 60% thereafter Fronting by so called “BEE” suppliers Established white firms still prefer to deal with BEE on the basis and only for public sector work! Entrepreneurs remain averse to access the really big opportunities, e.g. owning & running shipping lines, accessing land for value-added services

Way Forward Communication of major projects and initiatives prior to commencement (Ngqura & Durban 2005 case study) Entrenching a maritime culture amongst entrepreneurs to take advantage of coastal mines (Ports!) A sharper focus on supplier development to create meaningful and enduring partnerships Removing a culture of entitlement amongst some suppliers and ensuring they adopt a continuous improvement culture to drive down costs
