, QUESTION 1
The White Paper on National Transport Policy of 1996 (South Africa 1996:3)
provides the broad framework for road transport regulation in South Africa. Please
evaluate this policy in terms of its suitability for the passenger and freight road
transport industry. In your answer, please make sure to also explain its strengths and
gaps for the road transport industry.

INTRODUCTION
Transport plays a significant role in the social and economic development of any
country, and the Government has recognised transport as one of its five main priority
areas for socio-economic development. The effectiveness of the role played by
transport is to a large extent dictated by the soundness of transport policy and the
strategies utilised in implementing the policy. Public policy cannot be static but must
be dynamic in nature. It must at all times be perceptive to the environment within
which it operates. Policy therefore needs to be reconsidered and if necessary
revised on a continuing basis. The last major analysis and formulation of transport
policy in South Africa took place in the mid 80's. Since then there have been many
profound and far reaching changes in the country and the time is opportune for a
review of transport policy.
Early in 1995 the Department of Transport embarked on a project to review and
revisit transport policy and formulate new policy where it has become necessary to
adjust to a changed environment. This policy making process involved, as far as
possible, all role players and the public at large in identifying issues, generating
policy options and discussing and accepting policy proposals. The first phase of the
policy process was to set up a steering committee to guide the policy review study
but not to make policy recommendations. The steering committee that was
established was fairly inclusive without pretending to be fully representative. It
included people from all key sectors of transport and as far as possible was
constituted to involve all interest groups involved in the process.
A working group was established to develop an overarching framework for national
transport policy. It formulated a long-term vision for transport in South Africa. Six
sectoral working groups involving a cross section of the role players in the transport
industry were established to analyse issues within specific transport sectors. These
working groups each dealt with separate elements of the total transport policy
process.
POLICY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The broad goal of transport is the smooth and efficient interaction that allows society
and the economy to assume their preferred form. To play this role, policies in the
transport sector must be outward looking, shaped by the needs of society in general,
