SA economy surprises with growth
The SA economy outgrew expectations in the second quarter
with GDP growth of 0,6% over the first quarter.
This can be attributed to a number of factors including a strong performance
from the manufacturing and mining sectors. June also saw the lowest monthly load
shedding since August 2022, which helped to bolster the manufacturing industry.
That being said the economy also benefitted from a sharp rise in investments in
machinery and equipment, particularly related to renewable energy, which shows that
South Africans are making plans to lessen their reliance on Eskom.
The transport industry once again outperformed all other industries except
restaurants and hotels with growth of 1,0% showcasing this industries resilience in the
light of a variety of factors including 475 basis points in rate hikes over 18 months and
persistently high inflation.
While the sales of new passenger vehicles declined by 6,7% compared to the same
period last year the sale of light commercial vehicles increased by 2,7% while medium
and heavy truck segments of the industry also demonstrated positive performance.
Medium commercial vehicle sales increased by 0,3% while heavy trucks grew by 10,4%
compared to the same period last year, showcasing that business is continuing to
invest in new vehicles to get the job done.
The death of the trade show?
The local motor industry recently hosted a number of events and trade shows
including the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami and Automechanika incorporating
Futureroad.
While the Festival of Motoring was a relative success, mostly with the public, the
lack of major OEM support was evident. Automechanika and Futureroad were also a
shadow of their former self, struggling to fill two halls at Nasrec.
Historically trade shows were a great opportunity for exhibitors and visitors alike to
expand their horizons. For exhibitors they were an important part of their marketing
strategy and an opportunity to directly engage with customers, clients or partners in a
way that is different to any other type of marketing.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we do business, interact and shop.
Virtual meetings became the norm and online shopping the preferred way of acquir-
ing raw materials, parts and other goods needed to keep your business running.
While trade shows have bounced back internationally, they are struggling to remain
relevant in South Africa. Limited exhibitors attract limited visitors and vice versa, so it’s
a real catch 22. While I don’t doubt their place it seems the local motor industry feels
like they can spend their marketing money better elsewhere.

Standard Bank has partnered with IOX
Fleet Services, a leading provider of traf-
fic fine management solutions based in
Pretoria, to improve the way it manages
traffic fines for its customers.
This new solution sources traffic fines
nationally and quotes users to settle
them on their behalf. User will also have
all the of legal options available to them
based on each fine’s type and area, such
as representation for cancellation, dis-
count or redirections. This country-wide
solution makes it easier for Standard
Bank customers to manage their
traffic fines on time and avoid additional
penalties. Furthermore, the platform
offers vehicle licence renewals, detailed
notifications, in-depth reporting, and
various fleet- and driver management
features.
“Managing traffic fines is, unfortu-
nately, part of running any fleet, and
with the implementation of AARTO, it
will become critical to have a system
in place that facilitates the efficient
handling of thereof,” says Derick de
Vries, Executive Head of Standard Bank
Fleet Management.
Integration
The IOX Fleet Services solution inte-
grates with Standard Bank’s existing
systems to automatically capture fines
data from various road traffic author-
ities. This data is then processed and
stored on a secure, easy-to-access Web
Application. Standard Bank customers
are able to access their fines information
through the IOX Fleet Services portal,
where they can pay, dispute and submit
representation for their fines online.
The solution includes a number of
features that help Standard Bank im-
prove its customer service. For example,
customers are able to set up alerts to
notify them when they have a new fine
or upcoming licenses that are due for
renewal. They are also able to view a
history of their fines and fine payments
alongside the licensing information
for their entire fleet, alongside risk on
drivers.
Convenience
IOX’s Fleet Services solution uses a
variety of channels to collect fines
and ensure a nationwide view of fines
across the country. The features and
user-friendly nature of the IOX platform
eliminates the need for customers to
visit physical locations or use other
channels to pay their fines or licenses. By
BUSINESS
‘Overall, the Standard
Bank-IOX Fleet Services
solution is a valuable tool
for managing traffic fines
in South Africa. It is a win-
win for both motorists
and South Africa’s traffic
fine-issuing authorities.’

being able to pay their fines more easily
and quickly, customers are far less likely
to incur penalties. This convenience will
benefit large fleets with thousands of
vehicles, or a small family with one or
two vehicles.
Depending on the severity of the
charge, the platform offers the option
to present legal representation for
serious non-payable fines. A legal team
is ready to assist with court appearances
on behalf of clients for all fines types,
especially serious offences.
This solution helps Standard Bank
comply with regulatory requirements for
the reporting of suspicious and unusual
transactions. By providing a centralised
platform for customers to manage vehi-
cles, Standard Bank can ensure transpar-
ency and accountability in the payment
process for fines, licensing, registrations
and all vehicle-related costs.
The solution is expected to have a
significant impact on the way Standard
Bank clients manage their fleet’s fines
and licenses, while saving the bank
millions of rands in administrative costs
each year.
AARTO ready
More than a year after its planned imple-
mentation was ruled unconstitutional,
AARTO (Administrative Adjudication of
Road Traffic Offences) is back on the
cards. This after the Constitutional Court
overturned the High Court’s ruling that
found the AARTO Act to be invalid and
unconstitutional.
“This new judgement has made it
even more important for Standard Bank
to have an effective fines management
solution in place,” adds de Vries.
Enacted in 1998, the AARTO
Act is managed by the Road Traffic
Management Corporation (RTMC), a
public entity under the Department of
Transport. It introduces a points-demerit
system for violations of traffic law. The
AARTO Act aims to create a safer driving
environment for all road users.
A study conducted by the NIH on
Italian drivers found that demerit
systems effectively encourage drivers
to adhere to the law and increase road
safety. Another study published on
ResearchGate found a 15–20% initial
reduction in crashes, fatalities, and
injuries.
In South Africa, the AARTO Act differs
entirely from the Criminal Procedure
Act, which has been and still is used
to adjudicate road traffic offences
everywhere in South Africa except
Johannesburg and Tshwane.
AARTO’s functions are to act as
an administrative alternative to the
Criminal Procedure, to ensure more
efficient collection of fine amounts, an
“administrative arbiter” between al-
leged infringers and issuing authorities
that will administer the points-demerit
system as a mode of administrative en-
forcement as an alternative to criminal
prosecution.
Traffic infringements will result
in points being allocated to a private
driver’s licence, and on reaching 12
points, the licence is suspended. If no
infringements occur within a three-
month period, a point will be deducted.
If a licence is suspended three times, it
is permanently revoked. Similiarly, fleet
vehicles will also incur demerit points,
and can be blocked from operating.
Furthermore, AARTO introduces
a number of new fines and penalties,
and it also makes it more difficult for
motorists to avoid paying their fines.
The impact of the AARTO Act is likely to
increase demand for fine management
solutions. The Standard Bank-IOX Fleet
Services solution is well-positioned to
meet this demand because the platform
combines fines, licensing and overall
fleet compliance management into a
one-stop solution.
With the fines management solution
in place, Standard Bank customers can
easily manage their traffic fines and
avoid accumulating demerit points
that could lead to the suspension or
cancellation of their licence or vehicles.
The solution provides motorists or
fleet-operators with a variety of ways to
settle or redirect their fines, and it also
helps them stay informed about their
outstanding fines.
In addition, Standard Bank’s fine
management solution with IOX Fleet
Services can help reduce the number
of outstanding fines, which can free up
resources for other purposes. It can help
improve road safety by encouraging
motorists to pay their fines on time, and
it can help improve the efficiency of the
fine collection process.
“Overall, the Standard Bank-IOX
Fleet Services solution is a valuable
tool for managing traffic fines in South
Africa. It is a win-win for both motorists
and South Africa’s traffic fine-issuing
authorities,” concludes de Vries. BFA

TRANSPORT AND FREIGHT INDEX
The Ctrack Transport and Freight
Index (Ctrack TFI) retreated further in
July 2023 to an index level of 120.8,
the lowest since March (120.5). This
represents a decrease of 1,2% during the
month of July. This second consecutive
monthly contraction confirms the loss
of momentum in the logistics sector.
In addition, four of the six sub-sectors
measured by the Ctrack Transport and
Freight Index declined on a monthly
basis, including Rail, Road, Storage
and Air Freight. Pipeline transport
recorded marginal growth, while Sea
Freight was the only sub-sector to show
strong growth. Despite these monthly
contractions, on an annual basis, the
Ctrack Transport and Freight Index is still
tracking 3,3% higher in July, compared to
6,4% in June on a year-on-year basis, but
many challenges remain.
The South African transport and
freight sector has been in sharp focus
during the past few months as gov-
ernment has started to come to terms
with the negative impact the under-
performance of the sector has on the
broader economy. In a recent update
of Operation Vulindlela published on
27 August 2023, government indicated
that a new ‘Freight Logistics Roadmap’
is currently undergoing an internal
government consultative process
for publication before the end of the
year. “The roadmap will incorporate
proposals to resolve the immediate
operational challenges while developing
interventions to fundamentally restruc-
ture the logistics sector to support
inclusive economic growth,” the update
states. In October 2020, President Cyril
Ramaphosa announced the establish-
ment of Operation Vulindlela as a joint
initiative of The Presidency and National
Treasury to accelerate the implemen-
tation of reforms to revive economic
growth and create jobs.
Implementation of the roadmap will
be overseen by the National Logistics
Crisis Committee (NLCC), established
by President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier
this year to address problems afflicting
the sector, including a steep deteri-
oration in rail services and ongoing
port inefficiencies, trends which have
been reflected in the subsectors of the
Ctrack Transport and Freight Index for
some months now. A joint strategic
operations committee is also being
established between the NLCC and the
private sector, with organised business
having identified the logistics crisis
as one of three areas in which it will
provide direct support to government.
Similar joint action is also underway in

the areas of electricity as well as crime
and corruption. It is indeed a welcome
development that could lift the economy
out of ‘muddle-along’ mode and ignite
an economic recovery phase.
“It is great that government is
finally moving forward with Operation
Vulindlela. I do hope that it ignites the
recovery the broader transport industry
and the South African economy so
desperately needs,” says Hein Jordt,
Chief Executive Officer of Ctrack.
Fragmented growth has character-
ised the Ctrack Transport and Freight
Index sub-sectors over the past few
months, derailing any hope of a syn-
chronised recovery. Only three of the six
sub-sectors of the Ctrack Transport and
Freight Index increased on a quarterly
basis in July 2023, with Road, Rail and
Air Freight the laggards. On an annual
basis, four of the six sub-sectors still
declined, despite the overall index level
increasing by 3,3% compared to a year
earlier. Among the sub-sectors, Road
transportation (the biggest sub-sector)
has always been most resilient. Still,
annual growth has subsided notably to
only 6,9% year on year during July 2023,
a far cry from annual growth of 28,2%
experienced in August 2022 and the first
single-digit annual growth rate recorded
since March 2021.
The Sea Freight component, one
of the sub-sectors hardest hit by the
Transnet strike in October 2022, con-
tinued its gradual recovery during July.
While only container handling increased
during July (as other cargo handling
declined), the Sea Freight subsector
increased by 4,6% on a monthly basis
but remained in negative territory
compared to levels of a year ago (-3,1%
year on year). Following the ongoing
underperformance of South African
ports, the announcement by Transnet
National Port Authority of the first
privatisation of a South African container
terminal has created strong positive
sentiment in an industry crying out for
better port performance. International
Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) was
awarded the 25-year concession last
month, and the biggest anticipated
impact over the concession period is
the expected improvements in terminal
productivity. ICTSI will operate the
terminal, rolling out best practices learnt
from its extensive experience gained
from operating 34 terminals globally.
The Pier 2 container terminal handles
72% of the Port of Durban’s throughput
and 46% of South Africa’s port traffic,
thus, a notable improvement could be
a game changer for the industry and
the economy at large. The underperfor-
mance of Sea Freight relative to the total
transport and logistics sector, especially
over the past two years, has been clearly
evident.
The Road Freight sector has ex-
perienced multiple headwinds in the
past few months, including an IT glitch
that caused border crossing delays to
renewed unrest and the burning of
trucks on the N3 in KwaZulu-Natal, which
subsequently spread to Mpumalanga
and Limpopo early in July. These events
had a visible negative impact on the
number of heavy vehicles on the road,
especially during the first weeks of July.
While heavy vehicle traffic bounced
back on the N4 route, growing by
double-digits on a monthly basis and
reversing the slump in June, truck traffic

on the N3 route declined further during
July. While the road freight payload for
the country as a whole, as published by
StatsSA in its monthly Land Transport
Survey, remained flat on a monthly basis,
the Road Freight sector of the Ctrack
Transport and Freight Index declined
on both a monthly and quarterly basis
during July. This sector remains critically
important for the South African econo-
my as trucks carry around 80% of goods
in and around the country (source: Road
Freight Association).
The Rail Freight sub-sector also sub-
sided further in July, remaining deeply
in negative territory on an annual basis
and declining by a further 6,2% year on
year during July 2023, which represents
the 16th consecutive monthly decline.
The urgency of freight reform has been
reinforced in the Operation Vulindlela
update, which describes Transnet’s
decline as posing a material risk to the
country’s economic prospects, with
rail’s underperformance having resulted
in losses equivalent to 5,3% of gross
domestic product in 2021. “South Africa
continues to lose rail market share, with
Transnet Freight Rail volumes falling
short of targeted volumes – where our
rail system moves less than 40% of
rail-friendly freight tonne-kilometres,”
said the report.
Air Freight, which was one of 2022’s
star performers, has been under
pressure during the first half of 2023 and
declined by a further 2,9% on a monthly
basis during July while the sector
remains 4,0% below its position of a
year ago. According to the International
Air Transport Association (IATA), lower
demand for air cargo reflects multiple
headwinds still facing the global econ-
omy. While air cargo tonne-kilometres
(CTKs) to Africa was down by a further
2,8% in July, a few green shoots have
appeared. The number of unscheduled
flights that are typically chartered for
cargo purposes, as well as cargo load
on planes, both increased notably
during July.
The transport of liquid fuels via
Transnet Pipelines (TPL) increased
by 0,8% compared to June, with the
Pipeline component of the Ctrack
Transport and Freight Index tracking
moderately higher on a quarterly
basis (+2,5%) but remaining deep into
negative territory on an annual basis,
with declines of 19,2% recorded (partly
reflecting a high base of calculation).
After being the star performer in
June, the Storage and Handling sub-sec-
tor of the Ctrack Transport and Freight
Index declined again during July by 3,0%,
compared to June, while still tracking
7,8% higher annually. Ongoing issues in
the Rail and Road Freight sub-sectors
typically have spill-over effects on
storage and warehousing activity, and
this is the case once again.
“Given the lacklustre performance
across the majority of segments during
the last two months, we can only hope
that the industry gets a break from any
disruptions for the remainder of the year
in order for it to bounce back somewhat
and continue on its long-term growth
trajectory,” said Jordt.
Ctrack TFI and GDP growth
The second quarter GDP growth
outcome will be released imminently,
and we expect that the transport
sector will once again be among the
top sectoral performers and will most
likely have outperformed the broader
economy. Real economic growth of 0,7%
on a quarterly basis, seasonally adjusted,
is forecast for the economy (vs. 0,4%
in Q1), while the transport sector is
forecast to grow by 1,4% (vs. 1,1% in Q1).
While growth is forecast to be slightly
higher than in the first quarter, the
economic narrative remains generally
static, with ongoing load-shedding
(though some moderation is evident in
stages that applied), elevated interest
rates, a lacklustre job market and low
confidence levels still prevalent and
suppressing economic activity. However,
indications that some industries have be-
come progressively more resilient to the
effects of load-shedding, as companies
reduce their energy dependence on the
embattled Eskom, remains an underlying
positive development. BFA

INTERVIEW
Business Fleet Africa (BFA) spoke to Craig
Uren, Senior Vice President of Revenue
Generation, Southern African Customs
Union at Isuzu Motors South Africa,
about the changing nature of trucking in
South Africa.
BFA: How is the truck industry doing in
general and what is Isuzu’s forecast for
the rest of the year?
Uren: The truck industry is very different
to what we’ve experienced in the past.
COVID-19 uprooted everything and
created a lot of upheaval. During 2019,
we started to see recessionary issues in
the economy.
Going into 2020, we were in trouble
economically. COVID-19 came and kind
of reset a lot of things. Later, everyone
spoke about how well we recovered and
how quickly, and this attracted people.
Through 2021 and 2022, we recovered
to the pre-COVID-19 level. It’s a very
positive thing to say, but pre-COVID-19
wasn’t trending in the right direction.
Trucks make people money; cars cost
people money. This business keeps the
Isuzu’s push to be
a societal brand
‘We are a societal
brand. For us it’s
about business, we
help people make
money and thereby
contribute to society.
Consumers are under
huge pressure, and we
know that pressure
comes straight back
to truck operators.’

wheels of the economy turning. If you
look at distribution prior to COVID-19,
it has largely been reinvented with in-
creased demand for online shopping and
last mile delivery. The dynamics are very
different and line haul has changed to
support that. We’ve done incredibly well
on bakkies. What used to be done with
large trucks has progressed to smaller
trucks and bakkies. The truck market
overall is probably going to be equal to
or slightly better than last year.
The extra-heavy segment has gone
from around 50% of the total truck
market to around 67%. If you take that
bubble out, we’re below pre-COVID
levels. That’s not a good sign. We see
Transnet’s impact on the truck market.
Failing rail infrastructure has put massive
amounts of trucks on the road. So the
dynamics are driven by the extra heav-
ies, and at the same time, the smaller
guys are hurting.
BFA: Why did Isuzu take the decision to
introduce an extended warranty?
Uren: We are a societal brand. For us
it’s about business, we help people
make money and thereby contribute
to society. Consumers are under huge
