35. Security and Transport for SWC 2010 Frans Gibson, SAPS
Borders – passengers by air, through border posts
(Latest estimates international , inter continental, from Africa)
- Integration with Transport is an issue

37. Conclusions and Comments

38. Comment: Transport, Ports, Safety and security
Ports of entry Security versus transport capacity
Airports – OK (?) Land transport around airports ? Will the airports handle the pass / day on peak days ?
Expect large number of visitors from neighbouring states – Capacity of Border posts a problem
Integrated planning between Safety & Security and Transport officials – nothing done to date ?
Taxi industry – how are they integrated ?

39. Comments: Operational Plans
DOT has not made updated guidelines available
Detailed plans have not yet been developed
How we handle any incident will be the ultimate test of success (and what will be remembered)
We need fall back plans for the fall back plans - Who, what, when, where and what thereafter
Need to start testing ? (Do “dry” runs)
Need continuity on development and implementation
of operational plans (same service providers from 2007 to 2010 per city)

40. Comments: General
The cities are well progressed with planning – ensuring timeous implementation of transport infrastructure will be the challenge
Too much focus on “legacy” infrastructure ?
What are the unknowns we need to resolve
Cut off point for start of infrastructure implementation

41. SWC 2010 Scorecard A preliminary scorecard was developed and rated
Rating is based on perception of committee following the July Symposium
Need to develop KPI’s to do a rigorous assessment of ongoing progress
Need internal critical review of all transport plans

42. Scorecard – SA Transport – Ready to move for 2010

43. Recommendations Implement INTOP a.s.a.p.
Appoint National and local champions supported by strong teams – ENOUGH OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS
Cities should develop operational plans a.s.a.p
Provide resources to implement operational plans – National, Cities
Critical review of infrastructure plans – timeous completion
Integrate SWC 2010 operational plans and
infrastructure plans

44. Recommendations (cont.)
Will need to accelerate the speed of implementation
Small mistakes can have historical consequences
We owe it to the country and the continent to make 2010 a success
2010 is an opportunity for nation building – we must use it
