A Reputable Return
Letsoalo, a seasoned professional with an impressive career portfolio, is no stranger to Transnet. His prior tenure as the Chief Operating Officer of Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) saw him achieve notable milestones, making his return a significant and strategic move for the organisation.
Transnet Group Chief Executive Michelle Phillips expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “It is great to welcome Letsoalo back to Transnet and to be able to draw on his global knowledge of the logistics industry at such an important time in our organisation’s history.”

With over 14 years in the private sector, Letsoalo brings a wealth of experience from his roles as Managing Director at Aveng Manufacturing and, more recently, as the Chief Executive Officer of Cargo Carriers. His comprehensive understanding of logistics and operations positions him well to spearhead Transnet’s objectives.
Proven Track Record

- Expansion of the Pier 2 Container Terminal

These achievements not only demonstrate his robust managerial skills but also his ability to execute large-scale infrastructure projects successfully.
