The Department of Trade and Industry aims to promote and provide industrial development throughout Southern Africa to boost the economic performance of the region and to increase global competitiveness.

With Mozambique’s booming mineral and extractive industry, and an increase in multinational companies showing interest in the country, there is a need to expand Southern Africa’s ability to move their minerals and energy products to large economies around the world to benefit their struggling economies

Gideon van der Westhuizen led a professional team in association with Mott McDonald PDNA, that developed and tested the business case for the development of a new deep-water port 230kms north of Maputo, Mozambique based on coal, mineral sands, containers and liquefied natural gas products. Chongoene was also identified as a potential export/import corridor to feed landlocked neighbouring countries Zimbabwe and Botswana.

The Team’s brief was to interrogate the underlying project rationale in order to give proper focus to the analysis of demand and consequent engineering scaling for the port and inland transport infrastructure.

mainly recent transport studies carried out by the

professional team, other studies carried out by other

consultants, port statistics, various institutions such as

TMSA (Trademark Southern Africa), MRGP (Mozambique

Regional Gateway Programme), SADC, PMEASA (Port

Management Association of Eastern And Southern Africa),

DBSA, FESARTA (Federation of Eastern and Southern

African Road Transport Associations), etc.

The Team’s ability to respond effectively to Equilibrium

Group’s request for data drew considerably upon the

breadth of experience of the consultants who were

assigned to the work.

The Team’s experience allowed them to draw upon a

wider range of sources than might be possible simply by

going to formal reporting sources. The data was organised

according to the categories requested by the client and

submitted progressively as it became available and was

then consolidated.

HANA Botswana TFRCoal Capacity Seeking Project Case Study

Value Confidential

Location Southern Africa

Duration 2012 – 2013

Service Transport Infrastructure Advisory Services

The HANA Coal Mining Consortium is seeking coal haulage capacity on South Africa’s Freight Rail (TFR) network to Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT).

This resulted following announcements by the South African Government that it has committed R300 billion for much needed infrastructure investment which included rail infrastructure upgrades as well as new rail solutions development.

As part of this infrastructure investment programme the SA government stated that it was to upgrade the capacity of the existing Waterberg freight rail line capacity.

Cordev Group’s Gideon van der Westhuizen was engaged to commercially position the HANA Consortium in such a manner to commence negotiations with the South African freight rail operator, TFR, to seek capacity on the mooted Waterberg extension heavy haul freight rail line. The

importance of this development for Botswana lies in the fact that it would see herald the creation of much needed capacity to haul coal from Botswana and provide access to an international heavy haul commodity freight port, Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

Gideon positioned the Botswana companies in such a manner that TFR requested the Consortium to submit its anticipated coal supply numbers that are required by the Operator to underpin the future capital expansion and freight rail development network linking the Waterberg with Botswana.

Politically, this project offers significant upside in Southern Africa’s plight to become both a net exporter of coal to not only global markets, but also continue to satisfy the region’s own supply requirements by assisting in underwriting and securing coal supply.

Botswana coal reserves are abundant but to fully optimise its position, it requires access to world class freight rail infrastructure solutions in the form of guaranteed rail access that includes a clear pathway to the region’s largest bulk commodity export ports and markets.

The core focus on the project was to provide independent expert advice on the status of freight rail operations within Southern Africa as well as an overview of the costs and constraints associated with commodity mineral (coal) exports via heavy haul freight rail from Southern Africa.

Cordev Group’s Gideon van der Westhuizen was engaged by the HANAC Consortium, made up of four ASX Senior listed mining companies operating in Botswana.The key focus of the overview was that immediately available capacity to carry bulk minerals from newly opening mines in Southern Africa for emerging mining explorers and developers is very limited, with most existing bulk rail capacity already spoken for by incumbents and planned new rail capacity most likely to serve members of mine development consortia. The main exceptions to this conclusion are the longer term, less certain opportunities.

Notwithstanding this general finding, the Team’s research established some valuable costing details and status reports for a wide range of existing and future bulk mineral rail transport opportunities. As such it enabled the HANAC Consortium with a set of clear transport parameters against which to judge the realistic export potential of mineral investment opportunities which, from geological and other considerations, that appear to be viable.

Mozambique, eastbound, coal export route options

Service Contract & Procurement Management Risk

VMIA helps the Victorian Government, Australia, and its clients to effectively manage risks critical to ensure that the State’s assets and services are available and protected for Victorians to enjoy, both now and in the future.

VMIA is guided by the Victorian Government’s Risk Management Framework which sets out standards of risk management required across the public sector and the VMIA Act 1996.

International studies indicate that Public Sector Procurement accounts for approximately 15 to 20% of GDP in many countries. In the State of Victoria, Australia during 2009-10, the Victorian Government Purchasing Board reported 589 process approvals valued at $1,111.8 million.

Gideon van der Westhuizen was been engaged as a contract and procurement management advisor and lead strategic roundtable discussions for the Victoria State Government and its key stakeholders. The approach adopted was while the basic tenet of public and private sector procurement does not vary wildly, public sector procurement executives operate in a different professional world to that of the private sector.

Not only did they work under the extra glare of publically accountable financial and fiduciary responsibilities, they faced other unique challenges such as changing policy and political sensitivities, extra layers of regulation, compliance and governance and the transparency/accountability demands of the media, industry, business and the general public.

It was established that procurement practices, whether government or private sector, should be as straightforward, simple and cost-free as possible. This was echoed by the previous Australian Government Federal Minister of Finance and Deregulation when she commented “Government procurement is [especially] expected to achieve value for money through competitive, open, transparent, efficient and publicly-accountable processes”.

Prioritised as a Road of National Significance (RoNS), the Waterview Connection project underlines the NZ Government’s commitment to delivering economic growth through sustainable infrastructure development.

The Waterview Connection delivered 5km of 6-lane motorway through and beneath Auckland’s western suburbs, linking the city’s Western Ring Route by 2017. This provided a viable alternative for commuters, freight and through-traffic to State Highway 1, which runs through the city and over the Auckland Harbour Bridge and is regularly over capacity at peak times. It also directly connects the International Airport and CBD.

The $1.4bn Waterview Connection was the largest road PPP project ever undertaken in New Zealand.

Completing a motorway ring route around the city, it unlocks Auckland’s potential to become a truly world class city, combating regional congestion and creating a direct, time-saving link between the International Airport and CBD.

Gideon van der Westhuizen led an impressive Project Review Team (Gateway Review) in 2009 to assess the commercial viability of this project. Appointed by the New Zealand Government’s Department of Treasury & Finance.
